Nearly from the start, some quilt makers have incorporated the written word into their work. Illustrating with slides and textile examples, Julie will discuss a fascinating range of motives, techniques, and messages in quilts made as early as 1800 — and as recently as the day before yesterday.

Julie Silber is a respected quilt expert who has been selling antique quilts to museums, businesses, and individuals since 1968. Julie was the curator of the Esprit Quilt Collection in San Francisco and is the co-author of the critically acclaimed books, Hearts and Hands (Nelson, 2000) and Amish: The Art of the Quilt (Knopf, 1990).
