We are often asked about Barbara’s Schedule. This page contains a list of her plans, and the happenings at the Woolley Fox
September 1 – 28, 2013
Coverlet Museum Rug Show – Bedford, Pennsylvania
During the month of September, hooked rugs from around the country will be on display alongside the coverlets at the National Museum of the American Coverlet. The history of hooked rugs is as varied as the history of coverlets. Both were used to dress up simple decor and add a splash of color. And both are now coveted as a true art form and symbol of American life in the late 19th century. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm. The rug show will be available to the public through a museum admission.
