Sylvia Hernandez
I had the opportunity to go to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and actually see Sylvia Hernandez’ quilt in the exhibit Fabric of a Nation, American Quilt Stories. Although Sylvia and I got to visit several months ago, we wanted to wait until the exhibit was opened to share her interview. This special exhibition opened on October 10th, 2021 and will be available until January 16th, 2022. Sylvia has great ideas on making art and I’m so happy for her that the museum reached out to her to be included in this exhibition.
Here’s a few pictures I took of Sylvia’s quilt at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
The detail of the quilting is amazing

I love her
I appreciate Sylvia’s personal stories that inspire her art. She makes beautiful quilts that inspire me to think out of the traditional quilting box.
Beautiful work and I adore her name. I too am Sylvia (Hernandez) Peters,
I joined the MFA just because of this exhibit! I loved the exhibition and Sylvia’s quilt is amazing. What a statement, and what a story! I have seen this quilt several times at different shows around the country. It is nice to hear the story of the maker! Thank you for your wonderful podcast!
