Easley Area Museum Added to Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail

The Easley Area Museum is pleased to be the newest location for a hand-painted quilt panel on the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail. The double-sided panel was recently unveiled at its permanent home in the front yard of the museum at 201 South Pendleton Street in Easley.

Easley resident Kent D***s sponsored this project using a quilt gifted to him from his grandmother, Lola Carlock Bridgman (1899-1994). With fond memories of sleeping many nights under the quilt at his grandparents' home, Mr. D***s eagerly shared this textile art craftsmanship with the public by partnering with the Upstate Quilt Heritage Trail. "Having a quilt panel at the Easley Area Museum and becoming part of the Upstate Quilt Trail is a perfect addition to our facility," said John Cutchin, founding member of the museum. "We share the same goals to capture our history and tell its stories with the Heritage Quilt organization, and our location in the heart of downtown Easley is a perfect spot along the Quilt Trail. We are most thankful to Kent D***s for his sponsorship of this project."

A Ribbon Cutting outside of Easley Area Museum, hosted by the Easley Chamber ofCommerce, was held to introduce the latest quilt panel on Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail.
