November's meeting!

We were treated to a view of the past by Kelly Hill, Historical Costumer and Craft Coordinator at Kings Landing. Kelly brought us 5 quilts and several blocks to view and gave a short history of each. She explained that these quilts are kept in a dark climate controlled room, on tubes of acid free paper. Her presentation was followed by our monthly Show & Tell.

The five quilts from King's Landing

Our presenter, Kelly Hill, giving us an overview of each quilt. She brought these particular quilts as they reflected a record of what people wore.
