Agenda and plans to be announced. Our program will be a presentation by member Susan Macy on Uncovering Stories of Quilts through Genealogy Research.
All quilts have a story but some are more complex than others. Attempting to find who made the quilt, when, where and why was the quilt made are all questions the Genealogical Task Force at the International Quilt Museum try to answer through research. Sharing stories of quilts and their journeys of ones she has researched or ones that you have at home will be our topic.
