The website and presentation of these quilts are also elegant. Take a look at quilts that were made to be works of art when other forms of art were hard for women to enter.
Currently on exhibit at the DAR Museum is Eye on Elegance: Early Quilts of Maryland and Virginia. The museum is sharing a sneak peak online. The exhibit runs through September 5, 2015 and is divided into four sections: Applique, Pieced, Albums, and Migration. The exhibition will introduce visitors to a little known history of early American quilts. Eye on Elegance looks at quilts and their makers from Maryland and Virginia 1790 to 1860.
"These aren't the typical quilts that you would find in your family's cedar chest. These are really outstanding examples of design...what you are seeing in this exhibit are the masterpieces of these women."
