Using techniques such as hand and machine appliqué, quilting and patchwork, Goebel “has created a collection that brings to mind the sights, sounds and smells of a garden through all seasons,” said Suzanne McDowell, curator at the Mountain Heritage Center.
Goebel has been making quilts since she moved to Western North Carolina in the early 1970s. She has been a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild since 1980 and has exhibited her work at the Blue Ridge Parkway’s Folk Art Center in Asheville and at other galleries across the region.
Goebel “never misses a chance to share her love and commitment to the common thread that connects so many women with their mothers, grandmothers and close friends,” McDowell said.
The Mountain Heritage Center is located on the ground floor of WCU’s H.F. Robinson Administration Building. Admission to the museum is free, and it is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
