| Wedding and Anniversary Quilts
|
|
| Since women first began quilting, they have been making special quilts for wedding and anniversary celebrations. This is an illustrated slide lecture about typical patterns used for these quilts, wedding customs, traditions and symbolism - some dating as far back as the Ancient Greeks. Actual quilts will be shown from my present series on the theme.

| Victorian Applique Revival
|
|
| Today we are experiencing a resurgence of Victorian influence in clothing, interior decorating, needlework and quilting. In this lecture, we will look at the history, distinguishing characteristics, and symbolism of Baltimore Album quilts made in the 1850's and how these quilts have affected the quilting world today. Slides are included from the Baltimore Revisited Show in Lancaster, PA and from Emily Sienkiewicz's Applique Academy, as well as quilts made by students in my classes and workshops.
