We're home
We're home! It was a great trip-we went to all the quilt exhibits that I hoped to get to-including the Baltimore Album exhibit in Baltimore-and saw many wonderful quilts. The Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut proved to be a lovely small museum in itself (saw an Egyptian mummy and a Toulouse Latrec!) . The quilt exhibit was small but very nice with a wonderful Crazy Quilt that had the most embroidery I've ever seen on a Crazy plus padded work and even pom-poms. I loved this: the maker, Mrs. Signora A. May, willed the quilt to the museum!

Hi, Miri,
Glad to have you back in the country!I can't believe you were in Baltimore, that's where we are from. It sounds like you saw some great things and I hope you will post some pics when you recover from the jet-lag.
It's good to have you back! I'm glad you had a nice and safe trip.. and that petticoat is breathtaking! Imagine covering it up.
How lovely to see all these beautiful things...
That petticoat is so beautiful, thank you for sharing
I sort of worried about you. I am glad to hear you made it home okay. Also glad to hear you had a wonderful trip. Yay! Have a good week and I hope you recover from the jet lag.
That petticoat is incredible! I hope you have more pictures from your trip.
Miri, you're home and blogging and I almost missed it. My reader didn't show a new post from you. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Those bonnets and that petticoat is gorgeous. Can you imagine doing all that work to have it covered up?!! Well, its good to hear from you.
