Quilt Exhibit Opening

Clarke Historical Museum

WWII Home Front Challenge Quilts opens with guest Sharon May from the East Bay Quilters Guild. The battles of a war are fought on many fronts and take on many forms. The Home Front in World War II was paramount to the Allied victory. Here, the battles for production of necessary supplies and supporting fighting forces overseas through maintaining morale took on a great urgency. Current generations of Americans look back on this time as a period of great duty, scarcity, and selflessness. The year 2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and what more appropriate way to celebrate than an exhibition featuring that history through the textile art of quilts. Two calls for quilts went out in 2013 and 2014 to quilters on the West Coast and required small quilts, measuring 80 inches around the perimeter, focusing on civilian experiences of the American home front period. This exhibit will be on display at the Clarke Historical Museum from June 24-September 5, 2015.
