Road trips in the '30 was more about fixin' tires than fixin' the engine....
ReplyDeleteWish there was a way to put this post in my pocket to refer to from time to time...... such wonderful links!!!!
Thanks for keeping track of them all for us.
I wish I could do them all, but at least I've been to the Knoxville one, and plan to go again. It isn't huge, but the antique quilts on display are amazing and belong to several families who lived here. As well, there are some astonishing quilts made from unusual materials in the 1900s. And doesn't that sound odd to say? =)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see that the exhibit at the New England Quilt Museum, "Gilding the Lily, Embroidery in Quilts Past and Present", is included in this post! I volunteer at the museum, and this exhibit is wonderful! Come see it before the end of the month!
