Quilt Show
Aunt Lillie's eighth annual Quilt Show was a resounding success, according to store owner Deborah Burkett. About 35 individual entries were submitted, plus a large selection from the private collection of Victoria Hoffman of New York. For the fourth year, Ms. Hoffman also attended and spoke about her quilts, as well as offering appraisals. Below, she points out the identifying features of quilts, such as fabric and color, that help appraisers fix their dates.

Below are two quilts from Ms. Hoffman's collection: a Japanese quilt themed around Gilbert & Sullivan's "Mikado," and a flapper quilt depicting women's identity in the Roaring 20s. Above is one of the more unique entries, a YesterYear gown with a quilted train.
