Quilting in the 21st Century - Tuesday, March 23, 7:30 pm
|
 The making of quilts has been a part of American culture from the very beginning of colonial history. Bobbie Moon and Dorine Nieuwenhuijs of Pasadena's Blue Moon Textiles will be speaking about the current state of quilting in America and the world and how it has grown from the making of beautiful and interesting utilitarian bed coverings to the production of fascinating and highly artistic textile wall hangings.
Many quilts will be shown, both vintage and modern, to illustrate the beauty of the old and new artwork.
