We’ve had two quilts added to our Quilt Exhibit recently. Anne Knight Clay has loaned us an Endless Chain Variation quilt from 1940 that was quilted with cotton from Goodyear by Fannie Hammond Knight. It was featured in the book Georgia Quilts by Anita Zaleski Weinraub (2006).

We also have on loan our oldest quilt yet, made in 1820! An appliqué design, Princess Feather, is on loan from the family of Sandra Jones Barry, daughter of Ralph Miller Jones & Mary Grace Galloway Jones. Stop by and see these quilts and more while they’re on display through November.
