The Lancaster Diamond Sampler is one of a small group of similar quilts that were made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the mid-1800s by a group of quilters who referred to themselves as the “girl cousins.” They were friends and family, old and young, new quilters and experienced quilters, who got together to visit, to eat, to share knowledge, fabric, and patterns, and to work on quilts.
Ann fell in love with this quilt and has been studying it and making the blocks (there are 173 and all are different) since 2009. She keeps discovering more interesting and mysterious features every day about the quilt and the unknown quilter who created it.
In this fun and informative lecture and trunk show, Ann will discuss the history of the quilt and the various techniques used to create the unique designs. This quilt will remind you of why you got into quilting in the first place.
This event will take place on the second floor of The Old Country Store, 3510 Old Philadelphia Pike, Intercourse, PA. 17534. Attendees will be admitted at 9:40. All in attendance will receive Ann's new Lancaster Diamond Template with Corner Add-On Template, a $30 value. And of course, there will be door prizes!
Ann's book, Making the Lancaster Diamond Sampler, will be available for purchase at The Old Country Store. There will be a book-signing after the lecture.
