Quilting Through The Centuries

Quilting is one of the oldest forms of women’s crafting. 

Join Liberty Hall Museum, a historic house and garden museum located in Union, New Jersey, as we weave together how the history of quilting in the United States provides key insights into the history of women from colonial times to today. 

Discover how changing technology altered the popular forms of quilting and how women have used quilting as a way to have their voices be heard.  Whether utilitarian or artistic, quilts provide us clues of what life was like for American women over the past 250 years. 

This talk is accompanied by images and videos of quilts and historic quilting techniques as well as actual hand sewn quilts from Liberty Hall's collection.

The program is open to all and no registration is required.

It is made possible with the support of The Friends of the Livingston Public Library.
