MORRISVILLE – Patients and employees at Copley Hospital had a unique chance these past few weeks to experience Copley nurse Molly Hatfield’s human organ-themed quilt exhibit in the Copley Community Art Gallery. Hatfield is a nurse on the medical surgical unit and has been employed by Copley since 2018.

According to the available gallery description, Hatfield learned how to quilt from her stepmother during the pandemic, when she was sick with cancer. She started with big quilts, last year beginning to make smaller quilted pieces. As a nurse, Hatfield loves anatomy and physiology. Many of the quilts are from histology slides and textbooks.

A quilted adnexum, the uterus and its supporting structures, was just one of the quilted works by nurse Molly Hatfield being shown in the Copley Community Art Gallery from August 18 to September 26.
