That's incridible too. Such fun. Pack a sack lunch and make a total day of it. I wonder how long it took to set up. How long are they going to be there? Are they going to switch out the other 400 +- quilts. How long has she been quilting?? Did she quilt all of these herself or is she a collector also? She sure has good taste and talent! WOW
I don't know whether she is a quilter. Almost all of the quilts are antiques. I think most are 19th century.
she's not a quilter. as of now, she doesn't plan to switch out.
that's what the white-glove ladies have to say.
there are a number of new ones, machine pieced and hand quilted. a very few machine quilted that i was able to see. i don't know about what was up top.
i only saw three dates and those were worked in as part of the piecing ...1858, 1856 and 1853. none of the others that i saw were dated. many had places worn right through and many had holes due to the red dyes. it will be there until the 30th.
ADD: i only saw one that had a small pale flowered print on the back. the rest were all muslin. of course, the backs were mostly hidden by other quilts.
