Quilts and the Underground Railroad
Description
Slaves and abolitionists used designs on quilts to help runaway slaves make their way to Canada. Jackie Viestenz will illustrate her talk with a sampler quilt of the patterns that were used to guide the slaves. Most of the information is taken from Hidden in Plain View, a Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline L. Tobin. This dinner meeting talk is open to the public. Please make your reservations by Tuesday, August 2, 2016. Send an email to adktorch@gmail.com
