Leslie
Bellais |

Why
did quilting become so popular in America when
it languished in Europe? Why were there
overwhelming national quilting trends rather
than a myriad of regional ones in the history of
American quilting? These are questions
Leslie Bellais, Curator of Costume &
Textiles at the Wisconsin Historical Society,
will attempt to answer in her presentation on
the history of American quilting from the
colonial era to the Bicentennial. Her talk
will be illustrated with images of quilts from
the Society’s collection. |
