Discussion on Quilt Exhibit

October 13, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

  • « October Second Sunday at ETC. Vintage!
  • Fiddler on the Roof JR. »

JOIN WITH FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM for A  DISCUSSION on the NEW QUILT EXHIBIT 

The public is invited to hear local historian and genealogist, Lori Jackson Black, detail her journey in discovering, researching and telling the stories about the extensive quilt collection which she and her husband, Jay, are proud and privileged to share.  The discussion program is a part of the 3-month quilt show  and the Museum’s newest exhibit, “Threads  of Our History: Quilts of Mathews Virginia.”  Lori Jackson Black will review the history of the quilts and discuss her interest and involvement in them.  “A labor of love,” said Lori,  when she discovered a trove of quilts at the house of her husband’s aunt, Carole Diggs Hindman. “More than 30 quilts were uncovered in closets, on beds, throughout the house, in the attic,” says Black, “and then my detective mode set in!”  And she began her research on the family as well as the quilts. She will discuss their provenance, history and style and will be available for questions. There will also be vintage quilts available for purchase, some gently used, as well as a raffle of a lovely quilt.

The exhibit will be at the Museum through the end of December, and the Museum will be open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, through December. Special tours may also be arranged by calling 804-695-4664 or emailing [email protected].
