The Threads of Truth, Honoring the Creators of American Quilts

Slide Presentation by Martha Morrison

Martha Morrison travels nationally and throughout Europe to research first hand the fabrics of the past. Her love of textiles and especially American quilts and their meanings in the context of the history of the pieces she discovers has led her on many journeys throughout the historical towns of the east and south. She has presented to many groups about the touching personal stories she has uncovered. She will be presenting slides and showing quilts and textiles from several collections with the origins of the pieces she has uncovered. She extends an invitation to attendees to bring antique quilts from their own collections. There will be time designated to show and share some of the treasured fabrics with the audience.
