Description
Historically, quilts were often created to celebrate special occasions such as weddings and births and as tokens of remembrance for friends and loved ones. Now, they are deeply valued works of art that are sought after for their beautiful compositions, their authenticity, and their sentimental associations. From the album quilt featuring vignettes of US presidents George Washington and Benjamin Harris to the Stars and Comet Quilt lovingly stitched with the natal inscription, "Made and presented to E. C. H. by grandma Carpenter, 1892"; the quilts featured in this calendar represent snapshots of life. Experience history from a new perspective with these stunning quilts from the International Quilt Museum. The International Quilt Museum, located on the University of Nebraska - Lincoln campus, has the world's largest publicly held quilt collection, dating from the 1600s to present day and representing more than 65 countries; the superb examples collected here celebrate the cultural and artistic significance of quilts.
