'A
Legacy of Quilts: The Briscoe Center's Joyce Gross Collection'
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
* A Legacy of Quilts: The Briscoe
Center’s Joyce Gross
Collection, on exhibit at The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
will be the first public exhibition in Austin of the Gross Collection
from the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of
Texas at Austin. The exhibit spans more than 100 years of this enduring
American art form and features 29 quilts made approximately between
1844 and 1950, as well as antique fabrics. Each of the quilts in this
exhibit is an expression of one of America’s most beloved
artistic
traditions; each is a story written with fabric, needle, thread and
loving hands. Included in the exhibit are award-winning quilts from the
1930s, red and green appliqué quilts that were popular in the
mid-19th
century, a Hawaiian flag quilt and two remarkable album quilts.
