The first exhibit of the year-long "Heritage Quilt Days" is ready for viewing. We had a wonderful time today creating the final touches on the display apparatus for Lynne Taylor's extraordinary quilt collection. She has displayed 15 of her prize winning miniature and larger sized quilts. Lynne has won national and international awards for her work, and we are so fortunate to host her first cumulative exhibit. We have a little bit of stabilization work to do on the rack that we designed to present the quilts--but everything is ready to share with the public.
We also changed all of the portable cases to reflect our "textiles" theme. We have a case of doll and baby quilts (historic); we have a thimble and sewing notions collections, a needlework sampler-type collection, and the Eckbank corner bench--made by a German craftsman--has found a place in the corner of the Main Gallery. It provides a nice spot to sit and look at picture books about Germany, and our regional confirmation books.
I cannot believe the team of workers we have here. A special thank you to everyone who has helped sponser, design, create, and do all of the carrying and lifting to make this new exhibit landscape work.
Take Care,
Carla Jordan
