Jan, I love your story about your family heirloom quilt. That is exciting and I am glad that you pursued the path of complete documentation. We lived in Virginia (suburbs of D.C.) for fifteen years. We spent quite a bit of time in Williamsburg. My husband had a conference in Williamsburg one year and the whole family went and really enjoyed the back study. I was a textile major in graduate school and was very enthralled with the textile study that goes on there. It is so important to document, study and preserve our textile history because it is so much a part of the lives of our historical family.
