Quiltfolk knows that wherever we roam, we\u2019ll find surprises and uncover a state\u2019s best-kept secrets. But in Virginia City, Nevada, one quiltmaker told us that the whole state of Nevada is \u201cAmerica\u2019s best-kept secret\u201d \u2014\u00a0and she might be right.<\/p>\n
Cities like Las Vegas and Reno draw high-rollers and thrill-seekers, but Nevada calls serenity-seekers, too: The whole population of the Silver State is barely over 3 million; with 110,000 square miles, that gives a person a lot of breathing room. Such contrast is pure Nevada, where you can get miles of deserts\u00a0up north and mile-high desserts at the Bellagio in Vegas.<\/p>\n
Every day of our Nevada trip held surprise and delight, and we\u2019ve done our best to bring those happy discoveries to you in Issue 15. You\u2019ll meet a young woman who wears her patchwork on her sleeve; you\u2019ll get to know a group of big kids making quilts for little ones; and you\u2019ll attend the first-ever Quiltfolk show-and-tell.<\/p>\n
We feel incredibly grateful that our trip to Nevada took place just before the coronavirus pandemic created travel restrictions for much of the country. It makes it all the more special to bring you these and other remarkable stories from Nevada\u2019s open roads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
