Eye on Elegance

If I didn't live on the opposite coast I'd be at the DAR Museum in Maryland sometime between October 3, 2014 and September 5, 2015.

Made by Ludwell Harrison Goosley (1754-1813) and her daughters

Lucky for those of us who cannot make it they have an ONLINE exhibit of "Eye on Elegance, Early Quilts of Maryland and Virginia"  and are they ever elegant!! 

Pour a cup of coffee and grab a napkin for the drool and then click HERE.

    Wish I could visit but too far away - so thanks for the links. The youtube videos are superb - makes you feel almost there to see the quilts that way.
