The Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum will be showing historic family quilts and textiles from our permanent collection. Many of these quilts were donated with partial family stories, leaving us wondering about the lives of these makers and what stories were lost to time. Sometimes genealogy research can help fill the gaps of time and place, but it is a rare treat when we get items donated with notes passed down for generations or handwritten letters or diaries from the makers themself. Some of the quilts featured in this exhibit were made as wedding presents, and others were made for utilitarian everyday use. A few of these quilters include stitched signatures and dates. These quilts will be presented with their family stories, along with additional information SQTM was able to glean from historical research and the textile itself.
Our final Gallery will feature quilts made by young quilters, showing off the skills of quilters under the age of 18. This space will include quilted creations from former SQTM Quilt Campers.
