The History and Mystery of Baltimore Album Quilts
The history of Baltimore Album quilts is a fascinating journey into an America headed for the Civil War. Discover how the industrial revolution, the struggle over slavery and the social and moral climate of the time contributed to this beautiful art form. Through stories, Jaimie will explore how the demise of Baltimore Album quilts leads us into the hearts and minds of the women who made them, and find out how a pregnancy, a Christmas gift and a quilt class gone horribly wrong helps to explain the mystery behind why these quilts disappeared almost overnight. It’s a funny, provocative and insightful look into some of America’s most beautiful treasures.

How to Build a Landscape Quilt from the Ground Up
(If You Don’t Know How to Draw)
Have you ever wanted to make a landscape quilt but thought it was out of your reach? Join Jaimie for an insightful look at how to create a one-of-a-kind quilt even if you’ve never thought of yourself as an artist. Follow along as she shows you how she uses Google Images, a copier and a light box to “build” a pattern and enjoy lighthearted stories of her less-than-successful landscapes and the principles for success she discovered along the way.
