Clawson Historical Museum Quilts At the CAMEO Quilt Guild Show

The CAMEO Quilt Guild mets in Clawson, MI. Quilts donated to the Clawson Historical Museum were displayed at the show this weekend. They are in delicate condition and were displayed on quilt racks. The display was in the lobby and the lighting was not the best.

I would love to see this quilt laid out on a bed! It was called a candlewick quilt. Perhaps some day I will see if I can have a private viewing and get better photos.
