Quiltscapes

Historic quilts are among the few types of everyday objects that, by virtue of their artistic qualities, survive to join museum collections as American folk and decorative art. Their allure reaches beyond graphic quality to reveal stories of family, community and work lives. Forty-three artful quilts from the permanent collection of the Eastern Washington State Historical Society echo our collective Northwest experience and reflect generations of quilt traditions used to create objects of beauty and function.

Story telling is a universal human impulse. Myths and stories reflect the common human experience. Sharing stories helps us to make sense of our world, to find meaning in chaos, to teach our children.We were interested in visitors’ interpretations of these works from our collection and in 2009 solicited and posted viewer responses.
