Our Activities
Although we are still centered around the Chicago area,
we meet informally several times a year in various locations. For our annual
meeting, we choose a coverlet-relevant place, such as
a major exhibit or event. Past locations have included
the Alling Coverlet Museum in Palmyra, New York; Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg,
Virginia; and the DuPage County Historical Museum in Wheaton, Illinois. The 2005
meeting was held at a major coverlet exhibit in Cumberland, Maryland.
Meetings generally include time for meet-and-greets, discussions of current events,
and often a talk or lecture. There is always a wonderful show-and-tell session,
during which members show off some of their latest “finds” and tell
great stories of wonderful discoveries. Newsletter We
maintain a quarterly newsletter, tracking coverlet-related news, activities and
events around the country. Along with images of coverlets on the collections
of our members, our past issues have included articles on recommended reading
and new research on specific weavers.
