Don’t miss your last chance to see our BITS AND Don’t miss your last chance to see our BITS AND PIECES Quilt Exhibit, on display until this Wednesday, November 23. See our largest collection of historic quilts, including the Trowbridge Crazy Quilt, dated and signed in 1884 and found in the Long Neck Point Road residence of Emily Nash Trowbridge. Details of this quilt include the 1783 Washington Headquarters, Five Mile River and a Garfield Campaign ribbon. Crazy quilts made their appearance and became a wildly popular “craze” in the latter part of the 19th Century and into the first half of the 20th Century. The quilts were pieced, appliqued and elaborately embroidered. They were made of irregular bits of luxurious and colorful fabrics, such as silk, satin, brocade and velvet sewn together using a variety of decorative stitches. Visit the exhibit Tuesday through Wednesday from 11-4. Find out more at museumofdarien.org. #Darien #history #quiltexhibit
