Quilts

 

Threads of History

New, used, odd and antique quilts. A three-part exhibit arranged and sponsored by the Friends of the Billings Estate Museum.

The exhibits were part of the celebrations in 2004 of the 175th Anniversary of the Billings Family home in Ottawa, Ontario. That home became a museum in 1975 and is part of the Billings Estate National Historic Site.

A map with directions to the Estate may be found here.

The exhibit was produced in cooperation with the Heritage Department, City of Ottawa and the staff of the Billings Estate Museum.
