Schedule
October 13, 2018, Lovely Lane 9 Block Quilt Workshop. Number 9 out of 10 workshops that will be held on one Saturday a month at my home, 118 Winesap Lane, Dover, DE. Each monthly workshop cost $20. Each pattern is an additional $15. Take any of the 9 workshops or all 9. There will be a 10th workshop on assembling the nine block quilt. For additional information, Click Here.
The first lecture (BAQ-L1) is a lecture on symbolism in antique Baltimore Album Quilts as well as symbolism in quilts that I have reproduced. I will discuss symbolism on domestic and political issues, social life, places, and important events at the time a quilt was made. I will show reproduction Baltimore Album quilts and blocks as examples. These examples will include buildings, Baltimore heroes, a child’s story book, political campaigns, Baltimore monuments, etc. The length of this lecture is between 60 and 75 minutes.
The second lecture (BAQ-L2) is a Show-and-Tell using my reproduction Baltimore Album Quilts. I discuss the history and makers of the Baltimore Album antique blocks. The length of this lecture is between 60 and 75 minutes.
The third lecture (BAQ-L3) is a Show-and-Tell using the Rebecca Murray Hendrix Quilt. This quilt has both Baltimore Album Quilt blocks as well as Baltimore Album Style blocks in it. The quilt which is dated 1847, was made for Rebecca by family members and friends. The length of this lecture is between 60 and 75 minutes.
Lectures

These lectures may be modified to allow for either shorter or longer time periods.
Workshops
The information below shows which blocks I have used in teaching my "Tips, Tricks and Techniques" classes. However, I am always willing to teach a new block if there is an interest. You may click on the picture of the block to see a larger image. It is necessary to have a pattern for each block. The blocks below are from three different sets of patterns:
