Stories Told, Lessons Learned
   This is a very personal, inspirational and poignant look at what it has meant to be a quiltmaker.

appropriate for both quilters and non-quilters and has been very well received.

techniques. Lecture includes a brief demonstration (with handout) and a “show and tell” trunk show.

The Judge’s Evaluation of Quilts
    This presentation would be of interest to quilters who plan on entering competitions, as well as to
quilters who simply wish to evaluate and improve their own work. Discussion covers evaluation of
workmanship and design, as well as some personal insights on the judging process.

The West Virginia Heritage Quilt Search
   The West Virginia Heritage Quilt Search was a volunteer effort to collect and preserve information
about West Virginia’s pre-1940 quilts and quiltmakers. Join Fran as she guides you through the state’s
documentation process, shares some of its stories, summarizes some of the results, and talks about
the project’s inclusion in The Quilt Index. A trunk show will include quilts that were inspired by the
project.
