Presented by Mauren Ose, Communications Coordinator for the International
Quilt Study Center and Museum
Maureen Ose's presentation will focus on the stories told by Lucinda Ward Honstain, the maker of the "Reconciliation Quilt", renowned by experts as "one of the most important pieces of Americana" of its time. The images and information embedded int his quilt, as well as other reproductions which she will display, will paint a vivid picture of the history and culture, as well as individual lives, of the times (pre, during and post Civil War) in which they were made.
