Civil War Quilt Lecture

One of our own will be presenting a lecture in our area:

CIVIL WAR QUILT LECTURE

For those interested in quilting, or the Civil War, Butler resident Susan Catanzarito will be presenting a lecture for both. The Baldwin Reynolds House Museum is presenting her lecture on  July 28th at 1 pm.

^{Susan has been a life-long resident of Butler, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Indiana University, Susan is retired with almost 35 years experience in Family and Consumer Science, formerly known as Home Economics. Since the mid-90’s, she has done extensive research of the Civil War era and quilt history in general. She has taken her lectures to western Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and New Hampshire. Susan is a member of the NWPA Quilt Study Group, a member of the ILR Quilting Guild as well as American Quilt Society and National Quilt Association.}
With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War Susan used her research to create a new program that includes many reproduction quilts, pictures and even some post civil war quilts. She encourages people to bring some of the own antique quilts to her lectures. Susan’s lectures are both informative and entertaining.
Cost for the lecture is $10 with all proceeds benefiting the BRH museum. Light refreshments will be served. Space is limited to 40 participants. Please call Judith Stoll at 814-398-4365 for reservations.
