What's It All About? Betty Leppin paints silks and creates quilts in her Deale, Maryland studio near the Chesapeake Bay. Visitors can purchase hand made full size quilts, smaller quilted wall hangings, and hand painted silks (pillows, scarves, sarongs, framed art), or they can commission Betty to create a piece that is uniquely their own. Betty also takes great joy in finishing that quilt top that may be sitting around a quilter's home waiting for that someday to be completed.
