Nancy Halpern has a degree from Berkeley and has studied at Radcliffe and the Boston Architectural Center. She has taught quiltmaking around the world for over twenty years and has been exhibited around the world as well.  Archipelago was the first work commissioned by the New England Quilter's Guild.  It is hand pieced and hand quilted in an undulating pattern that echoes the movement of the ocean.  Her original design features the houses and trees on the islands off the coast of Maine where Nancy lives.
