Jerry Peak, museum director, said opening day of the exhibit was well attended, and he expects the quilt exhibit to attract the interest of people of all ages and from all walks of life. The story cards that are included in the exhibit give historical information about the quilts and identify the quilt makers and the owners, when known, and the quilt patterns. Some of the most colorful quilts are string quilts and âpieceâ quilts that were made from scarps of cloth. One quilt of great interest is a reproduction quilt made by Carol Glayre, a Pioneer Quilter.
