Stamford Quilts – September 22, 2000 through February 24, 2001
The Stamford Quilt
This appliquéd quilt depicts 30 selected scenes representative of 350 years of Stamford history. Conceived and designed by Stamford Historical Society members Jennifer Peters, Priscilla Munch and Yvonne Wardwell, the quilt was two years in the making. Twenty-eight stitchers, with other community members, collaborated to produce this permanent, historical celebration of Stamford's 350th anniversary.
