Conservation Lessons...

Marnie, our Summer intern from Vancouver Island University, is getting some hands-on experience preparing this Pendleton Blanket for display.  Marnie sews velcro to the back of the blanket, ensuring a reversible mounting method is used.

We found out Marnie's grandfather was a tailor!  I think it runs in the family!
