August

Richard Hanks, researcher and writer for Coyote Hill Press, will be giving a talk about the history of quilts back to the Civil War. 

There will be an exhibit board with the very rare Civil War U.S. Sanitary Commission quilt and newspaper clippings about how it ended up in Redlands, CA.   Above is a photo of the quilt, which is hanging in a museum where Richard worked in California. 

Richard will bring his retirement quilt and his grandma's quilts to show.
