Celebrating the Fiber Arts: The Helen Geier Flynt Textile Gallery in Historic Deerfield, MA., United States.
Flynt Center of Early New England Life - Helen Geier Flynt Textile Gallery
This is a fine collection of early American textiles and costumes. The exhibition is permanent but changing, so I took the opportunity to photograph the collection on show as closely as possible when I stopped by two days ago.
Below is an over-gown from Townsend, Massachusetts area.
