Quilt Detectives: Discovering Women’s History Through Textiles with Jillian Alexander and Stephanie Dyke (Virtual)

Our foremothers often received little recognition in written history. In fact, it wasn't long ago that many women appeared only as Mrs. [Husband’s Name], their identities fading into anonymity once living memory was lost. Yet some left behind rich legacies for us to discover by way of their needlework. Join Jillian Alexander and Stephanie Dyke, independent researchers and livestream hosts, as they uncover the fascinating women behind three unassuming quilts. Romance, tragedy, success, White House connections, and other surprising facets of two quiltmakers’ lives will be revealed.
