Pam Weeks, Curator, New England Quilt Museum
|
Historic quilts were examined, discussed, and explained by Pam Weeks, in a New Hampshire Humanities program sponsored by the Chatham Historical Society and the Chatham Congregational Church.
Weeks is the Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum, as well as a quilter, fabric artist, quilt historian, and state-juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. An expert historian, she often speaks on the history of fabrics and quilting through the ages. |
On her website, www.portablepatchwork.com, Weeks writes, “Quilts have been the focus for more than half of my life. I started making quilts as a result of the craft revival inspired by the Bicentennial in 1976. By the mid-1980s I was designing my own work. In 1991 I took a class on reproducing antique quilts and was hooked on quilt history. This led to research on “potholder” quilts, and even the Civil War. Quilts tell stories, from women's work during the Civil War to tales of western migration and industrial history. My first book was published in 2013 on Civil War quilts made for soldiers. My next book will be out soon.”
