Meanwhile, we have decided to release the exhibit catalog. Stitched & Woven: Bergen County Quilts and Coverlets, 1800-1976 is now for sale.

In 2019 the Bergen County Quilt and Coverlet Show Committee contacted every museum in Bergen County to invite them to participate in a quilt and coverlet show planned for September 2020 (and then May 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic canceled the exhibit plans, but we did research and photograph each item. In the exhibit catalog we present the quilts and coverlets with stories and photos of the people who made and owned them. This book will delight quilters, historians, genealogists, and art lovers.
