    Usually I read of the collections and exhibitions you feature here and sigh, since there's an ocean between us. But I'm fortunate to live only 30 minutes from Winterthur - and yes, it is a truly amazing collection. In addition to the outstanding quilts and other textiles, the museum also now has on display the "Faith" Jacobean jacket created by the embroiders of Plimoth Plantation. Truly a masterpiece!

    Hope you're feeing better, too. :)
