Sew interesting: Old State House revisits quilts by black Arkansans

It was time once again for officials of the Old State House Museum to get out the quilts, Helaine R. Williams writes in Tuesday’s Style section.

So they went to their permanent collection of more than 200 vintage quilts, created by members of The Natural State’s rural black communities and dating back to the late 1800s.

And for the third time, these quilts have been placed on exhibit. “A Piece of My Soul: Quilts by Black Arkansans” opened April 27 and will run through fall 2019.
