Carved Quilt Depicts History of Swannanoa Valley

The Western North Carolina Carvers Club recently presented a unique gift to the Swannanoa Valley Museum ~ a carved “quilt” with wooden squares that depict different aspects of the history and geography of the Swannanoa Valley, from the Beacon blankets to the iconic Montreat gate. The quilt was created at the suggestion of Dave Foster, a Carvers Club member and Black Mountain resident. To see the quilt, and other fascinating exhibits about the history of the Swannanoa Valley, vist the museum at 223 West State Street in Black Mountain, Tuesday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
