Discover the magical connection between quilts and storytelling in this captivating presentation and interactive discussion with Millie Kehrli, Ph.D.! Quilts have long been more than just fabric and thread—they preserve family history, build communities, and spark creativity. In this class, Millie will explore how these themes come to life in children’s picture books.
Drawing from her impressive collection of over 125 quilt-related books, Millie will showcase how quilts offer a window into another person’s experience, provide warmth and comfort, and inspire personal creative journeys. Published from the 1930s to the present, these stories weave together generations, cultures, and creativity.
This engaging session is also a great opportunity for quilters and non-quilters alike to see how quilts can inspire and influence future creative projects. Whether you’re looking to enhance your quilting skills or exploring a new hobby, these books will spark your imagination. Don’t miss out on this chance to discover the world of quilts in children’s literature—and perhaps envision how a Nolting machine could bring your own creative stories to life!
