Quilt Lecture, Sat., 11/17/07

Just wanted to post something on my blog about my upcoming lecture for Mesa State's Adult Education center. It is a 3 hour lecture on "A brief history of American Quilting, 1776-1950" You can check out all the details on how to register on my website:

I will present a pictorial history as well as feature several quilts from 1790 to 1950 and many vintage textile samples from about 1850 to 1930.

I am really excited about this lecture and looking forward to a great class. Check out this creepy "Graveyard Quilt" made in 1835, notice the coffins in the center....I'll talk about the history of this quilt and many others in my lecture.
