Pennsylvania quilt historian Barbara Garrett will present a walk through 175 years of quilt making in the US, from approximately 1780 to 1950, using her collection of historic reproduction doll quilts. Barbara designs and makes historic doll quilts based on actual antique quilts using the theme "These are quilts a mother could have made for her daughter's doll with the scraps left over from the quilt she just made for her family." She will share approximately 150 of them to illustrate the time periods, styles, trends and stories of quilts during our country's history. The program is 2 hours and includes an opportunity for questions at the end of the presentation. This is an in person only program and will not be recorded.
Registration includes admission to the Virginia Quilt Museum and all of our current exhibitions. We encourage you to explore all that the museum and our lovely town of Dayton have to offer. You can visit our friends at Rocktown History, pick up fabric for a new project at Patchwork Plus, and enjoy the shops at the Dayton Market. Enjoy a snack or meal from Harvest Table, Grammie's Ice Cream, or Braithwaite Cafe.
Make a weekend trip of your visit and join us on Saturday, June 21 for our 30th Anniversary Brunch.
