Packwood Museum, Welcome to the Fold

Although there are several quilt squares in various states of being created, I haven't blogged much about these pieces. One reason is lack of concrete information. Many aspects of designing, painting and installing a quilt piece are complex (meetings to be had, committees to be formed, agreements and partnerships to be made) so it should come as no small wonder that information concerning these new pieces have been slow to surface.

However.....

I did get some information concerning the Packwood Museum quilt square. The Packwood Museum is located in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. It has a wonderful collection of quilts. This spring, in conjunction with a major quilt exhibit  at the museum, will be the installation of the Packwood Museum Quilt Square, part of the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails.
