Quilt Exhibit
The Santa Fe Trail
Center presents:
Patchwork Pawnee: Our Community in Quilts
Patchwork Pawnee: Our Community in Quilts
Larned, KS: Nothing seems to evoke the pioneer prairie home
quite like a large, brightly patterned quilt. Patchwork Pawnee: Our
Community in Quilts opens on June 4th at the Santa Fe Trail Center
in Larned, KS. The exhibit
contains over 20 quilts donated from around the Larned community and Pawnee
County specifically for this exhibit.
Each quilt’s personal and distinct story will be told in the
exhibit. Besides the history and
stories behind the quilts, quilt patterns will also be explained to show how
specific patterns tell different stories and have unique meanings.
Patchwork Pawnee
will be on display in the auditorium at the Santa Fe Trail Center through the
end of June.
