TQS wants to thank Lynn Forney Young, State Regent of Texas for the Daughters of the American Revolution, for showing TQS around and explaining some of the Quilts.  This was the first exhibition in the United States outside of Washington, D.C.

Congratulations to the Texas Society for making this all happen. http://www.texasdar.org/

The quilts were lowly lit to preserve them, so we did the best our low level cameras would allow.

Later today will be a quilt by the wife of Francis Scott Key the composer of the United States National Anthem "Star Spangled Banner".

We know that to our worldwide viewers  the 1800's barely qualify as antique, but for quilts it is very old.
