District is sponsoring an
Oregon
Chautauqua
program by quilt historian
Mary By water Cross entitled
“The Ties that Bind: Quilts
of Community.” The
program will be held on
Thursday, June 17, at 7 p.m.
at the Willow Creek Terrace
Assisted Living Center, 400
Frank Gilliam Drive,
Heppner. 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. OCH is an
independent, nonprofit
affiliate of the National
Endowment for the
Humanities.
