Quilting | Live Demo
March 17, 2022 @ 10:00 am - March 19, 2022 @ 4:00 pm
FreeNational Quilting Day is March 19, 2022, and quiltmaker and quilt historian Connie Brown will be demonstrating in the lobby of the Folk Art Center March 17, 18, and 19, 2022. On Friday (noon-4) and Saturday (10-4), visitors are invited to bring in their antique or vintage quilts to have Connie analyze them. This is a wonderful opportunity for people to find out the age, pattern, and other interesting facts about their family heirlooms, antique, and vintage quilts. Connie will also answer questions about care, storage, display, appraisal services, repair, and whether to quilt and finish an antique top. A special display of antique quilts will be in the lobby March 17-19. Throughout the 3 days Connie will be demonstrating hand quilting skills. Interested visitors will also be able to view contemporary quilts throughout the shop and second floor galleries of the Folk Art Center.
