Yesterday was my last day to explore Bedford, Pennsylvania.
Mary was teaching a Broderie Perse Workshop to a group who had traveled in from South Carolina, using motifs from Mary’s marvelous Palempore panel. More on that to follow!
Anyway – while they were busy I had a couple of hours to myself and it was suggested that I make a morning of visiting the American Coverlet Museum right here in Bedford.
Was I ever in for a treat.
I have always been fascinated by textiles –from the time I was little, if it was made with yarn, thread, fabric –I was game.
While I don’t own any coverlets of my own, I am so interested in the history of coverlets in America, especially since many were made through the Appalachian region I call home. Just like the quilts we revere so much, in many cases these hand woven coverlets have been passed down from generation to generation, along with the story of the maker.
