Friday July 19, 3:00pm – 4:00pm, Marion Public Library, Meeting Room B with Xenia Cord.
TQHF 2018 Honoree, Xenia Cord will share with us her study of Vessel, Vine and Floral Quilt Borders. While this presentation focuses on Ohio quilts with a single distinctive border style, Marie Webster and her book lie at the heart of the research. She singled out the “Indiana Wreath” quilt as an American masterpiece, calling it “a most beautiful example of the American quilt at its best; its pleasing design, harmonious colours, and exquisite workmanship reveal to us the quilter’s art in its greatest perfection.” Made public by Webster, the “Indiana Wreath” quilt is one among many sharing the border design shown here.
Don’t miss this interesting study of Ohio quilts. Register today.
