Saturday, October 13th BOOKSIGNING Join us on Saturday, October 13th from 1-3PM for a lecture and book signing with Judy Buswick, author of Sally Palmer Field, New England Quilter. Just in time for the holidays, copies of the book and accompanying CD will be available for purchase. Get an autographed copy for yourself and one for a quilting friend! This biography of a dynamic personality chronicles both women’s roles and quilting’s resurgence. The book of black & white images comes with an attached CD of Sally’s work in color. In the 1960s, Sally Palmer Field began her campaign to keep quilting alive. A trained home economics teacher, she set the standard for quilt teachers while inspiring children and adults in New England and at national business conferences. She co-owned a quilt shop when few existed. She also staged Massachusetts’ earliest quilt shows, co-founded the New England Quilt Guild and became its first president. Traveling from Maine to Virginia and throughout Britain, Sally did self-directed research on textiles and quilt-history. Enjoy Judy Buswick's fascinating lecture about this legend and pioneer of quilting's resurgence in New England.
