Consider the Sources: Covering America With Quilts


  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Williamsburg, VA USA (map)

What comes to mind when you think of a quilt? Family, friends, warmth, and tradition? Perhaps you think of a quilt as a striking art object hung on the wall, or even a history lesson that makes a statement about a particular society at a given time. For many, quilts are a direct highway to the past. Join Kim Ivey, senior curator of textiles, for a personal tour of the exhibit, Art of the Quilter, and a look at how and where Colonial Williamsburg’s antique quilts are stored when they are not on display HERE.
