Inspiration
Quilted materials were as popular in the 18th century as they are today, and were mostly crafted at home by hand from fabrics such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen. The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg has an extensive collection of American quilts dating from early America up to the present day.
Formal gardens can be traced back to antiquity. During the Italian Renaissance, formal gardens took on a more symmetrical, geometric style. A renewed interest in nature in the 18th century made formal gardens popular again, and the aristocracy and gentry took a keen interest in planning them. By the late 18th century, new styles such as the picturesque garden style, inspired by landscape paintings, gained popularity. Today at Colonial Williamsburg, you can experience these planned gardens and landscapes, from the elaborate formal designs at the Governor's Palace to more intimate gardens and picturesque landscapes throughout the historic area.
