Guest curated by quilt expert Christine Force, this uniquely vibrant two-part exhibit brings Maine’s rich 19th-century quilting heritage to life, from hand-pieced classics to intricate appliqué and embroidery.
Part One spotlights piecing and quilting, while Part Two dives into complex appliqué and embroidery designs. Stitches showcases iconic patterns like Log Cabin, Crazy Quilts, Eight-pointed stars, and Album Quilts—each featuring historic fabrics, embellishments, and one-of-a-kind details.
