My last day at the museum was spent in the library going through 40 years of Quilter's Newsletter Magazines looking at the articles about political quilts and patterns that I found in their indexes. It was a bit time consuming, yet fun too. I ran across an advertisement from the NEQM asking for political quilts the last time they did an exhibition like this one. It was in the early 1990s. Then about one o'clock, I said my farewells and left for the last time. I was sad! Having a few extra hours today, I decided to go by the Lowell National Historic Park one more time. I didn't take the time to watch the movie again, although I wish I would have. It was just fun to see the exhibits one more time. Then, I went home to start packing to go home. It is bittersweet. This has been a wonderful experience, but I am ready to go home!

Today I met Maureen at the museum. We had some wrapping up to do with the website, and since the museum is closed on Mondays it was a good opportunity to get things done without interruptions. I made sure Maureen had copies of all the images, and parts of images, backgrounds, etc. that I used to style to website. Now I feel she is all set and my involvement is over. Maureen is up to the task and I am sure will do a great job managing the NEQM's on-line presence.
For the rest of the day I worked on labels and just making sure I had all the bases covered with research documentation I will need to take with me. It's so great to be able to scan documents, images, and articles so I can save them electronically.
