 Bowers
Museum Exhibit: "Quilts: Two Centuries of
American Tradition and Technique"
July 3 - January 16, 2010
Guest
curated by Julia D. Zgliniec, Quilts: Two Centuries
of American Tradition and Technique presents the
patterns, stitches, fabrics and other construction
techniques of the Bowers’ most popular quilts,
and many that have never before been exhibited.
To satisfy our curious and creative visitors,
the top and bottom sides of several quilts will
be visible. The exhibition features a variety
of 19th and early 20th century patterns, a “Whole
Cloth” or “Linsey-Woolsey” quilt dating to 1776,
a 1930s “Utility” quilt made of men’s suiting
samples, and an unfinished variation of a “Crazy”
quilt from c. 1850. Made using paper templates
of old receipts, bills, letters and other documents,
this particular quilt is every bit as interesting
as a historical item as it is a textile.
