Habits
continued from page 5
To achieve an “authentic” look
and feel, she sewed the habit on her
94-year-old neighbor’s ancient
Singer machine.
Barnes spent the next six years
poring over history books, calling
various orders’ archivists and
speaking to actual nuns. From this
collective input, she created the
nine outfits. She sewed them to fit
dolls her daughters gave her for
Mother’s Day. Later, Barnes’ moth
er-in-law suggested she offer the en
tire collection for display at the His
torical Museum. The museum
accepted and placed the dolls in its
Changing Gallery.
“I just thought
the fact that her
habits represent
ed all the orders
that were here in
Eugene was
very intrigu
ing,” museum
administra
tive assistant
Lori Rude
said.
Barnes said
she was sur
prised the mu
seum was in
terested in
exhibiting her
creations.
“I didn’t.
go about this
to display it,” she said. “It was my
own personal interest, and then
other people seemed to be inter
ested as well.”
Barnes said the dolls are of in
tense personal value, especially
the habit representing the order of
the Carmelite of Maria. The nun
who supplied the fabric and
helped her create it died in her
sleep shortly before their last
scheduled consultation.
“This one is priceless to me,”
Barnes said, noting that she will
never remove the pins placed in the
fabric by Sister Maria. “It’s just the
way she wanted it.”
Barnes said the hobby provides a
tie to her 90-year-old mother,
whom she takes care of at home.
“It’s something that I could work
on, and she enjoyed learning and
knowing about it.”
Most of all, Barnes said the ex
hibit is about recognizing
transformation.
“I would like to have people ap
preciate change and what has come
before them in this city,” she said.
The Lane County Historical Mu
seum is located at 740 W. 13th Ave.
It is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wednesday through Friday and
noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. Admission
is $2 for adults, $1 for senior citi
zens and 75 cents for children.
“Getting Into the Habit” will be on
display until Jan. 4.
