21st Rotary Antique Quilt Show
Collector's
Choice
"Collectors
Choice" is an opportunity to show some of the quilts that do not
necessarily relate to a specific type or that can easily fit into
a particular category. In the past, quilt exhibits for the Rotary
at the Civic Center, have been organized with particular themes
such as; Double Wedding Rings, Baskets, Log Cabins, etc. These
exhibits display many of the different examples of this specific
style or type of quilt. As a collector, I am drawn to quilts that
accomplish specific goals with regards to the Pilgrim / Roy collection
on a whole, and serve to enhance what is already there. However,
once in a while, I will find a quilt that inspires or intrigues
me. I will acquire it even though it may not neatly fit the criteria
or the mission of the collection. This exhibit: Collectors Choice"
is an opportunity to show some of these quilts. The diversity
should be a welcomed change. This is an opportunity for the viewers
to see not only a different kind of quilt but also to see what
differences appeal to collectors.
Bobbie Aug and I have enjoyed each opportunity afforded us by
the Rotary Club of Paducah of sharing so many of our treasured
quilts. We hope this will be equally enjoyable and informative.
