New Quilt Museum exhibition examines Colonial Revival
Long before Pinterest or Martha Stewart, the DIY culture thrived in the United States. The International Quilt Study Center and Museum's newest exhibition, "Perfecting the Past: Colonial Revival Quilts," explores a movement from 1880-1940, when Americans looked to antique objects for inspiration and used patterns from newspapers instead of Pinterest boards online to make goods inspired by the past.
The exhibition opens Dec. 7 in the Peg Coryell Gallery at the museum, 1523 N. 33rd St. Audiences can take their first peek of this exhibition on Dec. 7 during First Friday Artwalk. The museum galleries will be open to the public for free from 4:30-7 p.m. Read more about this exhibition in Today@UNL.
