Sparta Historical Society;s spring exhibit at the Van Kirk Homestead Museum, curated by Jenise Sileo, focuses on the history, art and trends in quilting and showcases a display of 25 quilts with a spotlight on the Van Kirk Crazy Quilt and the Nyack Album Quilt (1854) from Mt Tabor Historical Society. The regional quilts evoke memories of family life and nostalgia of times gone by. However, besides the classic quilt patterns on display, this exhibit will also display Egyptian and Hawaiian quilt techniques that cross cultural boundaries.
