Kathy Kenny knows a thing or two about quilts. Join us on Saturday, January 17 at 1 p.m. at PML for a vintage quilt show-and-tell, then stick around to hear Kathy tell us about the Hidden History of Quilts, beginning at 2 p.m. The presentation will fascinate just about anyone, especially history, quilt, and fiber arts nerds. The event is free.

If you have a vintage quilt (made before 1950) that you'd like to bring for the Show-and-Tell, we'd love to have you. Registration helps us know how many vintage quilts to expect. Otherwise, registration is not required. It's a casual thing.

North Yarmouth Historical Society and Cumberland Historical Society, Maine will each present a little bit about their community quilts. We hope you'll join us.
