Desert Caballeros Western Museum

The museum has a new exhibit that should be of interest to everyone.  Entitled "Follow the Thread: Quilts from the Museum’s Permanent Collection", the exhibit features pieces from the Museum’s permanent collection ranging from the 1850s through the 1990s  and is rotating these pieces through  January 8, 2017.  The last round of quilts is now on display.  October 8 – January 8, Part 4: “Cultural Influences” explores styles representative of various cultures. Examples include a Log Cabin quilt by a maker of Hispanic descent, Crazy Quilts inspired by Japanese crazed vases, and a Wickenburg Quilt depicting the local area.

On Wednesday, November 23, the west valley edition of the Republic newspaper, under

"Things to do" was a listing for the DCWM and the "Follow The Threads" exhibit.  Part of it reads "Recent research by the Arizona Quilt Documentation Project sheds light on the makers and techniques represented in the wide variety of quilts that made their way the Wickenburg."

They have also published a book of their collection, for sale only through the museum.
