For example, you can choose a 20-minute video about quilt care and conservation or hear a pre-recorded lecture from head of collections Carolyn Ducey about the connection between 19th century quilters and botany and gardening. The site will take you through the steps of showing these programs using Zoom, so you can present a free program for a future guild meeting. This programming won't be static, new offerings will be posted, and these resources won't be available to others using the website.</span><br></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></th></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br><div id="" data-zbluepencil-ignore="true"><div><br></div></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
