Join us at O’Neal Library on Wednesday, March 26, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM for a fascinating talk with Sarah Bliss Wright about the historic Mt. Ida Quilt and its significance.
The Mt. Ida Quilt Project was an effort to research, document, and preserve the history of a remarkable 19th-century quilt from Mt. Ida Plantation in Talladega, Alabama.
The quilt, known for its intricate design and historical significance, became a focal point for studying Alabama’s textile traditions, women’s history, and craftsmanship of the era.
Led by Sarah Bliss Wright, the project explored the quilt’s origins, the lives of those who made it, and its cultural legacy.
Wright, a dedicated quilt historian and researcher, will share insights into the quilt’s history, craftsmanship, and cultural impact.
Whether you're a quilting enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about this remarkable textile, this free event is sure to inspire.
This event is free. Light refreshments will be provided. Please register in advance.
