“Quilts & Coverlets: Art for the American Home”
“Quilts & Coverlets: Art for the American Home” at The Kent State University Museum
This museum exhibition celebrates the artistry and history of American quilts and coverlets—handmade textiles that are as much fine art as functional home goods. Families will discover the intricate patterns, stitching techniques, and stories behind these beautiful pieces, learning how quilting connected communities and preserved family histories. It's a wonderful opportunity to appreciate craftsmanship, discuss textile design with kids, and see how everyday objects become treasured heirlooms. No special knowledge needed—just curiosity about American culture and decorative arts.
