I have always wanted to see the Jane Stickle quilt, and finally had the chance in September. It is displayed at the Bennington Museum in Bennington Vermont.
The whole museum is very interesting and homey and the highlight of course was the Jane Stickle quilt:
It was displayed in near darkness, really.
Question: Have you made a Jane Stickle quilt ("Nearly insane Jane?") or been tempted to make one? Ironically I was tempted to start one *until* the day I saw the original in person. lol.
Other sweet quilty treasures to be found -
Later in the month, just before we headed back to North Carolina, David and I stopped in to the Boston Modern Quilt Guild show. It was really fantastic, and thought provoking.
There were so many more. Not all advocacy quilts, but most were so packed with meaning. Reviewing these photos now, post-election, I feel a heaviness of heart.
I have one or two more "catch up" posts to write. Thank you for reading, fellow quilters;).
