Throughout history, many women focused their artistic talents on producing handicrafts and household goods. Quilts offered a blank slate for creative expression. The Putnam Museum’s presentation will allow viewers to dive into the history of the American quilt and see some of the amazing quilts in the Museum’s collection.
