For more than 20 years, the state documentation project searched for quilts made in Virginia. In 2006 the book "Quilts for Virginia 1607 - 1899" was published with the results of that search. As an editor and
contributor to the book, Neva Hart worked with the quilts and their
owners learning the different characteristics of Virginians and the
quilts they made.
She
shared with the audience behind-the-scenes stories on the search, the
quilts, the writing, and how quilts made today will be viewed in the
future.
