Baltimore Album Quilts have fascinated both makers and historians for well over a century. In the recently released Issue 21 of Quiltfolk, magazine staff writer Meg Cox (@meg4quilts) gave readers a look at what makes these quilts so special, and why the revival movement of Baltimore Album Quilts has outlasted the original craze in the mid-19th century.
Now, Quiltfolk is collaborating with Quilt Alliance (@quiltalliance) to dive a little deeper. Meg has invited two of the makers she profiled for the Maryland issue and two historians she consulted to come together for a panel discussion. Quiltmakers Mimi Dietrich (mimi.dietrich.1) and Nancy Kerns will join historians Ronda Harrell McAllen and Deborah Cooney, to each share a short video about a particular Baltimore Album quilt that feeds their obsession. Meg will then lead a conversation with the group, touching on some BAQ mysteries that were recently solved.
This one-of-a-kind Textile Talk will take place Wednesday, February 16 at 2 pm EST, and it’s completely *free* to attend! The panel and short videos will be pre-recorded to ensure time for a live Q&A session with the audience. Don’t miss out on this exciting discussion about these uniquely historic quilts.
