"Quilt Stories"
January 9, 2010 - April 24, 2010
The Western Illinois Museum is pleased to present "Quilt Stories" about the history of quilts from the region. Each of the quilts in the exhibit tells a unique story of families, influence, invention, beliefs and political interests. The exhibit includes over twenty quilts that represent the rich history of over 100 years of quilt making in the region sewn by women from Carthage, Good Hope, Macomb and Bushnell with examples from as early as 1848. The quilts will be on display at the Western Illinois Museum located 201 S. Lafayette at the corner of Washington Street. The museum is open 10-4, Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free and all donations are welcome.
