Home Sewn: Alabama’s Quilting Traditions

This talk examines the changes in quilting and quilting technology from the 18^th to 20^th centuries through the eyes of the quilt collection at the Alabama Department of Archives and History.  At the end of the talk, Ryan will discuss best practices for documenting, storing, and preserving your antique (or future antique) quilts.  If you have questions about preserving your personal quilt, feel free to bring it!  All are welcome to this free program.
