Gore Place, the historic Governor Gore estate in Waltham, Massachusetts offers a special whole-house exhibit of quilted textiles entitled Warm Memories. The exhibit will include late 18th and early 19th century quilted textiles including bed-coverings, shawls and a petticoat.

Quilting is a method of sewing two or more layers of material together by means of a 'straight' or 'running stitch' in order to add structure to an article. The creativity of the quilter often resulted in exquisitely patterned textiles.
