There is no charge and everyone is invited to attend. Once delegated to the realm of quaint handicrafts, quilts are now recognized by historians as valuable visual social records of w om en’s contributions that were often overlooked in official histories and traditional documents. Beginning after the initial pioneer settlement in the 1870s and moving to the present, quilt historian and author Mary Bywater Cross will illustrate how women drew their com m unities together through quilting for one of four primary purposes: raising funds for programs and organizations; creating tributes to individuals who supported and guided a group or community; commemorating cultural, social, or economic events; and attending to the utilitarian necessities for warmth and social interaction. Cross will illustrate her discussion with slides of contemporary and historic community-based quilts. using the maker’s documentation to help participants develop an awareness of the many roles that quilts play in com m unities. They are artifacts that connect the diverse geography, history, and culture of the Pacific Northwest. Cross’ program is made possible by funding from the Oregon Council for the Humanities.
