Pennsylvania Quilts: Studies in Color
A Century of Antique Quilts from the Packwood House Museum Collection
June 9 - October 24, 2009
The Packwood House Museum has an outstanding collection of more than 200 Pennsylvania quilts that date from 1813 through the 1930s. Most of this fabulous collection was donated to the museum by the late Robert Glover Shoemaker, a local antiques dealer who loved Pennsylvania quilts. Packwood's 2009 exhibit, "Pennsylvania Quilts: Studies in Color," shown here in the Kelly Gallery, featured approximately 40 quilts that demonstrate the transition from early English to late Pennsylvania German aesthetics.
