Last week on my way home from work I drove to Katonah, NY to see the quilts at the art museum.
It is a lovely exhibit combining traditional and contemporary works of art. There are several vintage quilts on loan from the Shelburne Museum, as well as a Gee's Bend quilt in polyester, a wire and metal wall hanging, a 3-dimensional free-standing quilt, and an all-wood, carved and sanded quilt-artwork.
If you can spare the time, it is well worth a visit before the exhibit closes June 13th. Check the website for docent tour dates and times. http://www.katonahmuseum.org
(And although the museum is the opposite direction from downtown Katonah, the quaint village is a great place to grab a coffee or a bite to eat.)
