Presented by Peggy W. Norris
Stitches in Time: Quilts 1800–1976
Monday, 10 May @ 2pm (Eastern)
Free Online Webinar!

While quilts have decorated our beds and kept us warm for two centuries, they also tell the stories about our families and our communities.

This presentation features quilts selected for the Bergen County Quilt and Coverlet Show (postponed, but hopefully to be rescheduled soon) and explores the great variety of quilts from 1800 to 1976—especially those made in Bergen County. Quilts tell stories about women, their families, and their communities and can enrich our genealogy.
