“Quilts & Christmas” at Douglas County Museum of History & Natural History, Roseburg, OR.

We checked out the “Quilts & Christmas” exhibit at the Douglas County Museum of History and Natural History that runs Nov 2024 - Feb 2025. It had quilts, Christmas ornaments and toys from the museum’s large collection.

This video captures the hand-stitched family quilts, their stories and craftsmanship. Many dated back to the mid-1800s. Designs included Crazy Quilts, Tree of Life, Rose of Sharon, Yo-Yo, Log Cabin, Nine-Patch and others. The "Christmas" portion of the exhibit had antique ornaments and toys.
