About this event
One of 30 upcoming events at Douglas County Historical Society, and 621 across Omaha.
Week 2 — Coverlets Beautiful, functional, and often passed down through generations, antique coverlets are much more than something that once kept a family warm. Join Pat Pixley for Week 2 of History & Appreciation of Antiques as she explores Coverlets. Take a closer look at the patterns, weaving techniques, materials, colors, and craftsmanship found in these historic textiles and discover what they can reveal about the people, places, and periods in which they were made. From treasured family heirlooms to pieces discovered tucked away in antique shops, coverlets offer a fascinating glimpse into textile history and everyday life.
