in American Quilts Between 1820 and 1920, many women chose to respond to events through needlework. Making and desinging quilts allowed women to engage in the world while still living in a domestic sphere. This exhibition presents quilts that reflect their makers' interest in their world and popular culture -- and the beauty of textiles. The quilts are on display at the DAR Museum through December 2019. | | | |  Friday, March 1 Film - Niagara
