This is sort of a continuation of the posts Variegated Yarn Surprise and Men Hypnotized by a Computerized Longarm… about our trip in earlier this month to the Carolinas (Charlotte, NC and Greenville, SC) to meet up with our Asheville, NC based friends E and S who needed a break from their post Hurricane Helene life in Asheville.
While in the Carolinas, we roadtripped (E and S brought their temporary rental car as their car had been totaled by a tree in the hurricane) to Greenvile and visited the he Upcountry History Museum to view the traveling show Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West. My quilt, Langston Hughes: Pioneer Poet is part of that show.
Here are some photos of the museum’s interesting interior:
We headed upstairs to see the show and I discovered my quilt was on display as you first enter the exhibit!
I filmed a walk-through of the exhibit and uploaded it to YouTube (and I was so proud of myself figuring out how to add music so you wouldn’t have to just listen to my breathing!):
While I was there they museum’s Special Projects/Media Relations Director Meg Hunt came up to meet me, chat with my group (John, E, S and me) and take some photos.
Yes I am terrible at selfies…
I really appreciated her taking the time to visit with us.
Okay next post on the trip will be about our fun time at the Fall for Greenville Fall festival.

Isn’t Greenville a nice place to visit? We went to several of the museums on that nice central green space and found a book store downtown as well. Glad you were able to visit your quilt.

The Carolinas have been fun to explore, previously I’ve only driven through them like when I moved from NY to Texas. It all started with that business trip I went on with John to Wilmington and to Raleigh and started to realize how lovely the Carolinas are!
