Crazy Quilts: Puzzle Patches and Fanciful Embroidery

"Crazy Quilts: Puzzle Patches and Fanciful Embroidery" celebrates the Victorian tradition of crazy quilting. The exhibit opens May 7 and runs until Aug. 10.

“Crazy Quilts” features a collection of 30 quilts, garments and other items made with the crazy quilting method, most dating from 1880 to 1920. The exhibit is organized by guest curator, quilter and storyteller Anita Sheneberger who spent more than four months traveling the back roads of Western Washington to acquire this rare collection of quilts.

The White River Valley Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday and is located at 918 H St. SE in Auburn. Regular hours are noon – 4 p.m. Admission is free on Wednesdays.
