Quilts at the Worcester Historical Museum, part 2

More from the AQSG (New England group) day at Worcester Historical Museum -

This one was so interesting:

This one was such a stunner.

THIS one really knocked my socks off:

Gorgeous Log Cabin:

I'm really looking for inspiration for my next log cabin quilt -

Lynne Bassett taught us about children's period clothing -

And we had show and tell -

Such an enjoyable time.  If you are interested in quilts and history - where they intersect - think about joining the AQSG.  And let me know if you do (no matter where in the country) so we can possibly connect!

Quilts at the Worcester Historial Museum part 1

Patchwork doll bed quilt, circa 1870, collection of Worcester Historical Museum, Worcester MA

Last month I spent a day with ladies from the New England Quilt Study Group (we are a subset of the AQSG) exploring quilts at the Worcester Historical Museum.

We started with a wonderful curator-led walk through the exhibit:

The exhibit was called Quilts: Practical Pieces so I knew immediately it would speak to me -

This first one is for you Wendy - potholder all the way!

And how about this awesome display of little doll quilts:

I kept going back to it.

Just so many cool quilts - I will post a couple more tomorrow -

The show is on until August 25 and if you find yourself in Worcester MA, it's worth a visit!
