On Monday, March 23 at 2PM, the Newton Free Library (330 Homer Street, Newton Centre) will host New England Quilts and the Stories They Tell.
Quilt history is full of myths and misinformation as well as heart-warming tales of service and tradition.
Pam Weeks weaves world history, women’s history, industrial history, and just plain wonderful stories into her presentation.
Participants are invited to bring one quilt for identification and/or story sharing. Prompted in part by the material culture at hand, the presenter may speak about fashion fads, the Colonial Revival, quilt making for Civil War soldiers, and anything else quilt-related she can squeeze in.
Please register in advance.
