ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free virtual presentation, “Pieces and Patterns: Quilt History and Chester County”, on Thursday, August 5 at 7:00 PM. Ellen Endslow, Curator, Chester County History Center, will be the presenter. How are 19th century quilts made in Chester County similar to or different from quilts made elsewhere or at different times in history? This illustrated slide lecture explores materials, construction and styles of Chester County quilts and their place in the history of quilted handiwork. It also describes a 2003-2004 county-wide quilt documentation initiative.
This event is free and open to the public and will be held online via Zoom. Registration is required at https://ccls.libcal.com/calendar/Phoenixville/pieces-and-patterns or by calling 610-933-3013 x132. Email mpinto@ccls.org for more information.
