Event Description:
An in-person and Zoom webinar presentation by Nick Powers, Curator of Collections at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester, Virginia, sponsored by the Margaret Grattan Weaver Institute for Regional Culture at Bridgewater College.
While the Shenandoah Valley is known for its strong quilting tradition, quilts are only one facet of the tapestry of textiles produced and used in the region. Samplers and needlework pictures, sumptuously decorated whitework, homespun blankets in vibrant colors, and other items transformed Shenandoah Valley houses into homes.
Drawing largely from the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley Collection, Powers, will explore “everything but the bedroom quilt.”
