The photos are wonderful, so lovely to see the close-ups and the quilting... the fabrics are delicious and so vibrant. <br />Since reading your post and meeting Brenda, I'm really itching to make a trip to Bennington museum, to spend some time in the presence of Jane Stickle's masterpiece... it would be a dream come true!marianhttp://marianedwardsdreamweaver.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-66760058585072098912014-09-30T23:17:20.804-05:002014-09-30T23:17:20.804-05:00Thank you so much for sharing these photos.

I am so jealous! Two years ago we were at the museum at the beginning of September because the web site said that it is on display during September and October. However, I didn't realize that it wasn't on display until later in September and we had to move on, so we missed out. I did buy the poster of the quilt, but the picture doesn't do it justice. Thanks for your great pictures!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-51019913555535438662014-09-30T11:40:44.918-05:002014-09-30T11:40:44.918-05:00What a beautiful tribute!
