The Gaches Mansion sits on a large corner lot overlooking the downtown shopping area.
Just inside the door they had a lovely display of circa 1880 Crazy Quilts throughout the main floor.
This one has a lovely gold velvet border on it.
Lace surrounded this one.
Looking from the dining room through to one of the parlours.
Cigar band silks made into a small quilt.
Elvina Gress made this lovely robe as a wedding gift for her daughter Barbara in 1952 when she wed Calvin Lloyd.
A closer look at the lovely stitching.
Another lovely crazy quilt.
I like how the borders were joined with the gold thread that sets off the textured velvet.
Some wonderful crazy stitching and embroidery details.
A little vignette set up as you went up the stairs.
Even the kitchen is used as a library and display area.
Dresden plate style crazy quilt.
Tour of quilt shops to come soon.
