105Z  Quilting in Virginia 
Two sessions
Instructors: Priscilla Godfrey, Bunnie Jordan 
Thursdays, 9:40—11:05, Mar. 26—Apr. 2
Session one: The instructor has been quilting in Loudoun County since 1979 when the Waterford Quilters Guild was established in Waterford, VA. In 1733, Quakers from Pennsylvania moved to Waterford and that is where this lecture/PowerPoint begins. 
Priscilla Godfrey has been a resident of Loudoun County, VA since 1979. She is a National Certified Quilt Judge and has been making quilts daily since 1980. She earned national certification in 1986 and has judged quilts in shows up and down the east coast. Her quilts are exhibited widely in Loudoun.
Session two: The book, Quilts of Virginia: The Birth of a Nation Through the Eye of a Needle documents some of the remarkable quilts and quilt makers of Virginia. This talk highlights some of the interesting finds in this search through time in Virginia. In addition to the PowerPoint presentation, actual quilts will be shared for closer examination.
Bunnie Jordan has been actively appraising quilts for over 30 years. A long-time quilter herself, she has been a contributing author to quilting magazines and the books: Quilters Hall of Fame, Quilts of Virginia, 1607-1899 and Southern Quilts.
