A chance request for a one-inch
scale quilt for a young friend's doll house launched Kate Adams onto the path that
she is following today. Once again employing her love of 19th Century style
quilts and her interest in history, she developed designs to market to adult
collectors of finely crafted one-inch scale miniatures. In 1989 Kate was asked
to display her work at a traditional American folk art show in Pennsylvania.
Today the Miniature Quilts of
Kate Adams are in many of the finest private collections of folk art in
America, Japan and Europe. Her work is marketed through such distinguished
institutions as the American Museum of Folk Art, Colonial Williamsburg, the Brandywine
River Valley Museum and the Shelburne Museum. Kate's work has also appeared in
many national publications such as Country Home, Victoria, and Colonial Homes
magazines. Her work has been included in the Early American Life Directory of
Craft, along with being featured in Robert Shaw's book, Quilts - A Living
Tradition (1995.) Her work is also shown in the Williams Catalog of American
Master Craftsmen, 2002 edition.
