Marianne Fons: Read My Latest Quilt (Lecture, Sat, 3/6/27, 12 pm)

From the nineteenth century forward, a few (but not many) American quiltmakers put their names on their quilts. Some did more than that, embedding their sorrows, sentiments, and messages in their patchwork. In this entertaining presentation, debut novelist and quilter Marianne Fons takes you on a visual journey from the 1800s to the present, with quilts doing most of the talking. As it turns out, writing a novel is more like making a quilt than one might think.
