WARNER HISTORICAL SOCIETY
In Celebration of Childhood: Doll and Crib Quilts from the Pilgrim/Roy Collection
A
quilt welcomes a child into the world. Antique quilts are often more
valuable when they are small as they are more rare. Therefore, antique
doll quilts are highly prized, whether they are made by children or
adults. Nostalgia and the romance of times long ago emanate from these
small wonders, especially since we know their makers imbued them with
love. After all, they were made for the dolls which little girls used
to emulate a mother tending her family.
On
the other hand, crib quilts were made for children. Everyday use and
frequent washing meant they were subject to much wear and eventually
discarded. The fact that so few survive makes them highly prized.
The
names Pilgrim and Roy have gained international recognition in the
quilting world. Paul and Gerald started working with antique quilts in
the early 1960s when their interior decorating business prompted them to
purchase antique quilts for clients. Each having a strong background in
the fine arts, they also began collecting quilts solely for their
aesthetic value. Today, the Pilgrim/Roy collection is composed of 2,500 quilts for sale and show
and quilt-related objects, including fabrics and all kinds of antique
sewing tools. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts featured, Quilts and Color
a blockbuster exhibit of sixty quilts from The Pilgrim/Roy Collection
exhibit this year.
This unique collection of doll and crib quilts will be on exhibit from November 1 – December 7, 2014
at the Warner Historical Society’s Upton Chandler House Museum at 10
West Main Street in Warner, N.H. Hours of the exhibit are Fridays and
Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Admission is $5.00. All proceeds benefit the Warner Historical Society.
Gerald Roy will host a talk entitled, “Ask the Expert: Curious about your Old Quilt?” beginning at 2:00 p.m. on November 22
at the Warner Town Hall located at 5 East Main Street. The public may
bring quilts for Gerald Roy to comment on and about but there will be no
written or verbal appraisals. Admission for the talk is $10.00. Quilt
commentary requests will be $5.00 per quilt.
