Great Outing to See "Women's Work" at the Oldham County History Museum

Once again our intrepid quilters went out and about in the crisp winter air for a group outing.  First stop was the Oldham County History Museum which has an exhibit called "Women's Work".  This exhibit highlighted some famous women of the 20th century.  The artist, Rebekkah Seigel, made quilts for Lucille Ball, Elenore Roosevelt, and a few others, using a paper doll technique.  You could move the clothing around the quilt and change the clothes around.  Lucille Ball's quilt had some very famous outfits, the candy factory and the Vetavitavegiman dress.  They were all period clothing, very interesting quilts.  

Our next stop was at a quilt shop also in Lagrange, Kentucky called the Gathering Room.  Michelle Klein is the most gracious shop owner.  Her beautiful shop has a lot of civil war and vintage styles of fabric...beautiful!  We went as a group and got a nice discount for all.  

Then we walked on to the Irish Rover on Main street in Lagrange.  Most all of us got the fish and chips-yum.  

After that walking back to our cars, it was a stop in at an antique shop called Three Peas in a Pod, which sadly is a casualty of the economy and will be closing soon, but, it was our great find, because there was lots of discounts and sales.
