Oh you must be way up north to be 3 hours from Bennington and still be in Vermont ;)

I ask because I live really close. No good LQS in Bennington but the Dear Jane quilt is currently on Display in the Bennington museum. Not for long though, the exhibit for this year ends Oct 14. Then it will be put away again until next year.

I have not had the pleasure of seeing this festival of quilts as of yet. I was told about something like this that happens every year at St. Michael's college in Burlington. Is that the one you are referring to? Again thanks so much for making me feel welcome. ;)

No, The Dear Jane quilt (aka Jane Stickle quilt) is an amazing quilt from the civil war. Many here have gotten together to recreate it with jaw droppingly beautiful results. Here is a link
