Let's Talk About Quilts
Thursday, January 19th from 2-4pm in the Kingsley Room
This program explores the ways in which quilts have become a part of American culture and folklore. Using images of antique quilts and quilted objects, Ms. Jerome discusses some of the definitions and ideas surrounding the word "quilt." What pictures come to mind? How has the term evolved through time? The audience is encouraged to bring one quilt or quilted object with them. These objects will be used to illustrate and enhance the discussion of all-things-quilts, including care of family heirlooms.

She volunteers at the Stonington Historical Society, helping with the costume collection and the War of 1812 Stonington flag.
