SE02 – Victory Quilts $20

Friday, Jan. 16 – 7:00 PM
Victory Quilts represents a look back in history to the 1940’s and life on the home front during the War years. This Sampler Quilt offers patterns and techniques for 20 blocks, each one representing a slice of history with a story to tell. The blocks are traditional patterns, popular during the that era and each one a symbolic remembrance: Sky Rocket recognizes the tragic bombing of Pearl Harbor; Broken Sugar Bowl brings to mind rationing during the War; Signal Light recalls air raid warnings; Army Star honors our Armed Services.

SORRY, THIS EVENT IS FULL!
Our “Road Roundabout” continues to be a popular event. Several members of the Road faculty will join local and regional instructors and quiltmakers continuously demonstrating a method, technique or notion. A one-page handout for each demonstration will be assembled into a booklet and given to each registrant for this event. Students may go from table to table on an informal basis to observe each demonstration within the time period.
