this is the new england quilt museum in lowell, mass. friday we went there to see the current exhibit on quilts from the maine documentation project. it's in a terrific downtown location. i am a member of the museum. the gift shop has really expanded since i was last there about 8 months ago. the quilts were gorgeous; all antique and one a quilt of tiny yo-yo squares set on the diagonal. they have a library and i borrowed some videos; gwen marston and ruth mcdowell plus "quilts in womens' lives," and they also have tons of used books for sale, but i resisted. i met some friendly quilters in the library who share my memories of the new england guild of long ago, now defunct. we stopped for a delish seafood lunch on the way back to vacationland. the weather was simply beautiful; sunny, not too hot, breezy; typical early fall. if lowell were closer to the coast, i might move there....seriously.
Sounds like a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteSo who is the "we" that went? It does sound like a really enjoyable day. Way to resist the quilt books. I'm trying to do more of that!
