Well, interest in the Civil War and 1800's reproductions has grown in the past few years, so we have, too. We meet twice monthly at Tiger Lily for a Sit 'n Stitch where all things 1800's are welcome - Dear Jane, Farmers Wife, Sylvia's Bridal, Album Quilts, Projects small and large. Only "requirements" --- a love of reproduction fabrics, projects, and thinking out of the box!

Dear Jane at Bennington
We had a great weekend in the Berkshires and the best was getting to see the Jane Quilt at the Bennington Museum. I'm going to try to put a link here to the slide show on photobucket - the museum allowed pictures as long as there was no flash, so these were taken with my iphone, but they seem fairly decent. Lighting around the quilt was low. The museum has had the quilt since the 1920's but they don't know where it was before that according to one curator. It's in absolutely amazing shape with only a little fading in the upper right corner. The quilt is oriented 90 degrees to the right (from Brenda's layout in Dear Jane), making Block J-12, Rebecca's Basket upright rather than tipped to its left.
