New England in The Fall

Yo Yo Quilt from the Maine Exhibit
Today was spent finishing up condition reports and packing the remaining quilts from the Maine exhibition.  The good news is that it's all done.  It was nice today to have a museum volunteer to help me with the turning and folding.  Thank you Betty! It takes a lot longer to do it by yourself when you are working with quilts that are very fragile like the ones today.  We did have one crazy quilt to send back that was just BEAUtiful!  It was in almost perfect condition, which doesn't often happen with crazy quilts.  They usually have silks in them that have deteriorated with age.  There is one quilt we need to track down the box for and one more little doll quilt that I think was sent with someone else's quilt.  I need to find out who.  Then the paperwork needs to be generated and the boxes shipped.  Almost there!

    Hi!   I 'm working on my MA in Textile History with an emphasis in Quilt Studies at the University of Nebraska.  I have been fortunate enough to land an internship with the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts.  This blog is about my great adventure!
