Lunch and Lecture with Teddy Pruett
Teddy Pruitt- studied quilt and textile history for more than twenty five years and received certification as an appraiser by the American Quilter's Society in 1994. She displays her “down home” sense of humor and relaxed, unpretentious Southern style in lectures that reveal an extensive knowledge of quilt and textile history - and she brings REAL QUILTS! Lots of quilts. Audience participation is encouraged. www.teddypruett.com
"Way Down Yonder: Quilts of the Deep South"
Is there a typical southern quilt, or do regional variations exist? How did the War of Secession affect quilts in the South? What are the societal influences that make these quilts unique? Can you really date a quilt by the presence of cotton seeds - and just what does a cotton seed look like, anyway? Discover the world of the rural southern quilt and make the connection between truck tires, walnuts, and "nickel bakker sacks." One hour slide and trunk show.
