DESCRIPTION:<h2>Civil War Talk</h2>\n<p><strong>Topic: <em>Birth and Growth
  of Inscribed Quilts</em> by Mavis Slawson</strong></p>\n<p>Mavis Slawson\
 , collector and textile historian\, quilter and lecturer\, shares examples
  and the history of American inscribed quilts.  The first inscribed\, albu
 m\, potholder and friendship quilts surfaced about 1830.  Signatures\, pat
 riotic slogans and notes of endearment are among the words written in ink 
 or embroidered on these quilts.  Inscribed quilts were created to raise mo
 ney for soldiers’ needs by both the North and South directly after the Civ
 il War.  Women continued to create inscribed quilts through the last quart
 er of the nineteenth century to fund community and church projects\, as fu
 ndraisers in the early days of the American Red Cross\, and through WW1 to
  purchase personal items for convalescing soldiers.  Quilters are still cr
 eating inscribed quilts today for a variety of reasons\, including the sup
 port of our wounded warriors.<strong></strong></p>\n<p>Second Saturday of 
 the month lectures series\, February–August 2013.  The program fee is incl
 uded in the Museum admission fee.  Free to Museum members. Re-admittance t
