New Hampshire Humanities Presents: New England Quilts and the Stories They Tell
New England Quilts and the Stories They Tell will be presented by Pam Weeks on Thursday, February 15th, at 4:30, in the Ballroom of the library.
Quilts tell stories, and quilt history is full of myths and misinformation as well as heart-warming tales of service and tradition. Nearly every world culture that has cold weather uses quilted textiles – quilting is NOT just an American art. 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.
This program is free and open to the public. Participants are invited to bring one quilt for identification and/or story sharing. There will be light refreshments.
New Hampshire Humanities nurtures the joy of learning and inspires community engagement by bringing life-enhancing ideas from the humanities to the people of New Hampshire. They connect people with ideas. Learn more at www.nhhumanities.org.
