This has been another busy week. We were able to see the exhibit of antique quilts at the American Textile exhibit and it was a treat. I enjoyed seeing a bird print from 1814, and a red and white copperplate quilt, as well as a chintz quilt for a four-poster bed. Stephanie Hatch has been collecting textiles for 30 years and has managed to find a number of interesting pieces, including stamping tools for Signature Quilts.
Other than that, I have been battling with the blog to try to post entries and have not been having much success. In addition, I am nearly through writing my document about Mrs. Ellen E. Hardy Webster. It is a charming account and will be sold on CD at the Museum of NH History store, when it is produced, which will not be for awhile.
Summer is fast fleeting and it is a pleasant thought to take some day trips before there is snow on the ground once again. Never taking a day off from work is not good for anyone. I hope you are enjoying your summer days, or winter days, as the case may be, if you are in Latin America or Australia.
Until later,
Patricia Cummings
