A group of appliqued and inscribed album quilts made in Ohio’s Miami Valley between 1888 and 1918 are the focus of this exhibition. The albums were given as gifts to young adult to celebrate life’s passages and share folk art designs, fabric and construction methods. The collection was accumulated and researched by scholar Sue Cummings over a thirty-five year period. They comprise one of the most unusual and significant regional quilt styles known.
