Quilts and the Stories They Tell

A new exhibit, Quilts and the Stories They Tell is opening at the Farmington Museum on June 23^rd and will run through September 9^th. Part of American history and culture from the beginning, quilts are much more than bed coverings. Quilts are also family heirlooms and works of art that have stories to tell. Some stories are obvious, written on the fabric itself, while others require a closer examination to uncover. Quilts and the Stories They Tell showcases examples made locally alongside quilts brought into the region. The exhibition is FREE to the public.

Regular museum hours are Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm. For more information, please call (505) 599-1174 or visit www.fmtn.org/FarmingtonMuseum.
