So appreciate this list! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Living on the West coast has benefits, but seeing wonderful antique quilt exhibits here isn't one of them!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I may try and get to the LaConner quilt museum. Too bad it is so far in the sticks!!
Looking forward to a visit to Boston late Feb to greet new granddaughter, so I may make it to the Sturbridge exhibit!t
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have this list. Unfortunately, the "Stitch by Stitch" exhibit at the Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ, was never installed. Although they have other interesting exhibits, they do not presently have a quilt exhibit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peggy. I removed it. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteAn exhibition close (enough) that I can visit--Bedford PA. Thank you Barbara Brackman.
