Description
The exhibit demonstrates just how far we have come, and explores the transitions of women’s craft-making with displays of artifacts of embroidery, needlework, and quilting that some might think of as a lost art. Quilts and samplers, clothing and accessories, baskets and hair work, will be on display (many of which for the first time) as well as samples of young women’s skill development, as samplers and baskets; tools of the trade and original designs and commemorative pieces, such as Victorian hair art.
