Gallery Talk with Mary Kerr, Guest Curator

Southern Quilts: Celebrating Traditions, History and Designs

The South has a rich quilting history, steeped in tradition and passed down through the generations. Southern quilts have a distinctive identity that sets them apart from quilts made in other regions of the United States. Until the mid-1800’s regional styles and characteristics were common, but only in the South did these strong quiltmaking traditions continue into the twentieth century.

The NEQM is delighted to host quilt historian and author, Mary Kerr, for this insightful exploration of the glorious designs, colors and patterns that are unique to the South.
