QUILT TURNINGS OF ANTIQUE QUILTS with JAN WASS & MERIKAY WALDVOGEL The always popular [antique] quilt turning sessions are returning again this year. At these special features of our show since their inception in 2008, Jan Wass and Merikay Waldvogel surprise us with a group of antique quilts, many of which have never been shown publicly before.
A team of quilt history colleagues Jan Wass, Cindy Stuart and, Merikay will date the quilts based on the quilts’ fabrics, patterns and styles. Expect to hear some good stories and learn something about dating old quilts. Visitors may bring quilts to show if time permits. Photos may be taken and questions/comments from the audience are encouraged. There is no additional charge for this event. Merikay Waldvogel is a nationally known quilt collector, researcher and writer. Her books include: Quilts of Tennessee, Soft Covers for Hard Times, Patchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, and Southern Quilts of the Civil War. In 2009, she was inducted into the Quilters Hall of Fame for her work as a quilt historian and author. She has been a member of Smoky Mountain Quilters of Tennessee since 1986. Jan Wass is a researcher and writer and a retired curator of Decorative Arts at the Illinois State Museum. Her interest, exceeding more than thirty years, centers around textiles and their history, with a special interest in Illinois Amish Quilts. She wrote the book Illinois Amish Quilts: Sharing Threads of Tradition. Cindy Stuart is a certified Quilt Appraiser, and is studying for Quilt Judging certification. A student of quilt/textile history, Cindy is active in the Tennessee Quilt Study Group and the American Quilt Study Group. GO TELL IT! • Quilt Stories video-recordingsAmy Milne and Emma Parker of the Quilt Alliance will be at our quilt show both days to capture your brief quilt stories.There is no charge for this service. Our show visitors, entrants, and SMQ members are encouraged to participate.
You simply come to our show with a story, and the friendly Quilt Alliance staff will make it very easy for you to record a 3-minute video of your story. Most, but not all people bring in a quilt to talk about. If you have a quilt in our show, Quilt Alliance can record you in front of it if you wish. They can also add photos or video of documents or other related objects to the video. Entrants are invited to tell stories about their entries with the entry as a backdrop. Visitors are encouraged to bring a quilt, something they have made or been gifted or inherited. Walk-ins are welcome or 10-minute appointments may be made via this contact form.jotform.com/241276237898167.
