It pays to read blogs, so you can tell people to go and see this exhibit. It is about QUILTS!
It is at a real MUSEUM!
They have a companion BOOK!<\/p>\n

Sadly (I guess it is my day for sadness), I won’t be heading out that way until the summer. Do give me a review and let me know if you liked it. Perhaps I will put the book on my Christmas list. Hhhmm. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

But the week wasn’t all about turkey and muffins.\u00a0 Before everyone else arrived at my sister’s, M & I ducked out for a spectacular day in Washington, a city we’ve spent a lot of time in since Molly & K both went to college there.\u00a0 First stop, the Renwick Museum<\/a>, where we saw the current show, Going West! Quilts and Community<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 I’d wanted to see this exhibit since I read that it had been curated by Sandi Fox, author of two of my favorite books on 19th century quilts,\u00a0<\/em>Small Endearments<\/em><\/a> and For Purpose and Pleasure<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 Well worth the trip, I’d recommend the show if you’re going to be in D.C. before the close of the show in mid-January.\u00a0 Sadly (for you,) no photos allowed.\u00a0 The show’s companion book does include all of the show quilts (and more) with accompanying essays on over fifty quilts brought to or made in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
