How to Read a Quilt -

Finding Women's Stories in Antique Quilts


Quilt Arizona! Lecture

Lenna DeMarco

Friday, January 17, 2025

11:45am -12:45pm


Every quilt has a story, and one can find a lot of it if we know where and how to look.  Even if we know nothing about the maker a close examination of fabric, construction methods, pattern or block choices and quilting styles can tell us when the quilt was made, often where, what was the economic status of the maker and sometimes even how old she was.  This is quilt CSI.  In this presentation, we will look at quilts from the fanciest to the most humble and find out just what they have to tell us.  Audience participation is welcomed.  

We have a limited number of opportunities for attendees to bring their quilt for some first-hand CSI - what can we read about YOUR quilt.  You MUST pre-register at this link https://arizonaquiltersguild.org/event-5940877   Please read the instructions carefully.  

Lecture included with admission to the quilt show

No registration required for the lecture.
