This quilt was done in honor of one of Richmond’s best known retailers…Franco (of Franco’s Fine Clothiers). I got my hands on some of Franco’s old suit fabric swatch books & decided to make a ‘quilt that suits you’! 100% Wool, both sides w/applique ties - A Stylish Art Piece for your office.

Artist's Statement:

Ron Leone: Men In Quilts - I started quilting over 15 years ago after I retired. Since I was child, I always enjoyed working with fabric and creating beautiful things. Whether it was designing & making outfits for marionettes I created or just stitching up some fun Halloween costumes…working with fabric has always been fun to me. Being a tactile person, I find working with fabrics, battings and threads very satisfying. There are few things as sensuously tactile as working in fiber art. The different textures, colors and designs are very inspiring.
Also, though this may sound weird – I find the hum, motion and vibrations of a sewing machine very calming.
Over these many years, I have created many quilts and quilted items that make people happy, keep people warm and make their homes more beautiful – this make me (and them) very happy..
