lecture and presentation by noted quilt collector and historian Arlene Arnold
on June 6 in Ukiah. Arlene’s talk, “250
Years of Quilting in America,” will highlight dozens of quilts from her
personal collection, dating back to the 1770s.
Arlene is known for her humor and lively presentation style, and fifty
of her vintage and antique quilts will be on display.</span></span><br></p><p class="x_1615333942ydp2873d127yiv9473163846MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="font" style="font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span class="size" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Arnold’s interest in quilting dates to the “Great Quilt
Revival” of 1976, when the nation’s bicentennial celebration revived interest
in the arts and crafts of the past. “Who
were these women that lived through the decades of our land? Ordinary women who
did extraordinary things!” Arnold says. “They made history just by doing what
needed to be done.” Each quilt is a work
of art, made not just for warmth and comfort but as an act of creative
expression. </span></span><br></p><p class="x_1615333942ydp2873d127yiv9473163846MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="font" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt">This event will take place at the Ukiah Veterans Memorial
