PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson Museum of Art & History is seeking heirloom quilts for possible inclusion in a quilt exhibit set to open in September.
“We’re sure there are some wonderful quilts out there, and we’d like to see them,” said Becky Shurmann, collections manager.
“We would be very excited to find quilts that belong to families who have a long history in Jefferson County, although we’re not limiting ourselves to those criteria.”
The museum at 540 Water St. is a branch of the Jefferson County Historical Society.
Those with antique quilts that have historical, aesthetic or technical virtues are urged to phone Schurmann at 360-301-5556.
