Hi Kim, Don't know quite how I stumbled across your blog but I was intrigued. I would loved to have seen the Coverlet Exhibit! I grew up in Summit County but have not lived in Ohio since college days. My avocation is quilt history and women's and community history as revealed thru quilts. I live on an island off the West Coast now. Really miss the East Coast and all the access I had to old quilts but the Internet keeps the passion alive. It is so beautiful here. I love writing my three quilt hstiory blogs. and I am now recording local history as well as more general quilt histoy. Stop by and take a peek at karenquilt.blogspot.com.
Thank you for writing! The coverlets were beautiful. I posted a few photos on this entry: http://mckinleycurator.blogspot.com/2010/02/quilt-exhibit-opens-tonight.html. If you are on Facebook, become a fan of the museum!! I posted a whole album there!
