Hand Crafted: A Revolution in Quilting
Alicia Thomas, Executive Director of the Virginia Quilt Museum, will discuss how quilting has changed, and, in some ways, stayed the same over the course of the past 250 years, focusing on how it has always been an art form that allowed women to express their opinions. Quilts will be present from the museum education collection including an unfinished quilt top from 1874 and the Virginia Quilt made in 1991 to commemorate Virginia history. This project is supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250).
