Join NH Humanities to Go presenter Pamela Weeks, on Thursday, September 30th at 6:30pm, at the Mont Vernon Congregational Church for her presentation “New England Quilts and the Stories They Tell”. 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 brought to you by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities.
