Sundays at the Museum 

In a whirlwind round of interviews with multiple generations of Japanese quiltmakers, Dana learned a lot about working with Japanese fabrics from indigo to taupe and beyond. She talked with master quilters Kuroha Shizuko, Yoko Seito, Reiko Kato and Keiko Goke. She’ll share stories from each woman with an emphasis on how they select and design fabric. You’ll see images of quilts by each quiltmaker, get to handle Japanese fabrics and think about how U.S. quiltmakers can use Japanese fabrics in our quilts. 

The Heritage of Traditional Quilts and their Influence in Contemporary Design

As a curator for exhibits such as “Quilts Uncovered: Treasures from Genesee Country Village and Museum” and “Quilts 20/20” Pat Pauly gives an expansive look at the long history of quilt making, and its change and rebirth in the twenty-first century. Presenting over 400 images in the span of an hour, she takes a fast-paced look at the craft that has endured in America for nearly 250 years. Hold on to your seats.
