As ye sew, so shall ye rip September 3, 2023

 I adore the American Folk Art Museum and never miss a show. I saw this quilt exhibit last April and encourage you to visit. It is on through October 29th. ‘What That Quilt Knows About Me  explores the deeply personal and emotional power associated with the experience of making and living with quilts’. Spanning from the 19th through 21st centuries, the works on view reveal a range of poignant and sometimes unexpected biographies. From a pair of enslaved sisters in antebellum Kentucky to a convalescent British soldier during the Crimean War, the exhibition explores stories associated with both the makers and recipients of the works.
