Marjorie Burchell was a quilter and it is only natural to gather quilters in her former home to make wonderful quilts. Burchell's White Hill Farmhouse Inn has partnered with Jane Kuehn, owner of the Country Store near Heartwell, to host a series of Quilt Retreats. Here is a sample of our April 2013 Nebraska Whirlwind Quilt Retreat.
