Happy Thanksgiving to all my faithful readers! Are you preparing for your feast? We will be heading off to my sister's in a little while. I prepared three items for the feast table - spinach dip in a bread bowl, 7-layer salad, and pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing. YUM!
Yesterday DH and I had a little day date to the Ross County Historical Society in Chillicothe. Their special exhibit of quilts from their collection has been on display for a couple of months; the exhibit ends on Saturday.
I won't include a lot of detail on each of these pictures. Instead I will identify, include a year (if known), and point out one or two special qualities. Enjoy!

And the show stopper of the entire exhibit is this nearly 10' x 10' beauty.

Of course, I took almost 70 pictures, and shared just these few here. Maybe in awhile I will post some more.
If you are able to travel to Chillicothe, OH, this exhibit will only be up for 2 more days - maybe you can check it out!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
The quilts are beautiful. The eastern star quilt is really a showstopper! Happy stitching!
