August 2014 Meeting: Claire Witherspoon

Quirky Old Quilts

Claire has been collecting vintage tops and quilts for about 10 years. Since she has a great interest in quilt history, she has organized her collection into a talk focusing on the collection process and interesting quilt history facts she’s picked up along the way. Claire explains, “I don’t collect what most quilt collectors collect; I’m partial to the ‘odd ducks’ in the crowd so my collection includes some interesting mistakes and unusual quilts and tops. It’s a fun look at a fascinating topic.”
