A Stitch in Time

The Amherst Historical Society and Museum houses art, tools, and bits of local domestic history dating back three centuries. The nine women who make up the group Fiber Artists of Western Mass have taken the museum’s stock as inspiration for a new series of art pieces: more than 20 fiber artworks, each a musing on long-past time in a familiar place. The series is on display at the museum Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons through Sept. 25, with an opening reception May 5, 5-8 p.m.
