History of the Tarvin Quilting Project


The Tarvin Quilting Project began shortly after the first Tarvin Family Association reunion in the mid 1980's. Here is a history of the Tarvin Reunions, a thumbnail image of that year's quilt, and each quilt's winner. To see a larger image of the quilt, click on the thumbnail.
