20 GOING DUTCH<br />

American Quilts: Chat, Craft and<br />

Cake Lecture<br />

Every quilt tells a story, speaking to us<br />

through its fabric, its pattern, its technique,<br />

the time and the place the quilt was crafted,<br />

and, most of all, through its maker.<br />

Fortunately, we have an expert who understands<br />

the language of her quilts and<br />

is willing to share with us. Susan Cave<br />

Baragwanath will present Conversations<br />

with My Quilts, during a special session of<br />

Chat, Craft and Cake. All <strong>AWC</strong> Members<br />

and guests are welcome. If you have a pair<br />

of white cotton gloves, please bring them<br />
