Are you aware of the clues from your quilts? Come find out “What Quilts Can Tell You About Your Family History”.
Those of us who have family quilts might know who made the quilt and where it came from but many quilts are anonymous as to their origin other than just handed down through the generations. We treasure our family quilts as they act as a link to our historic past. Our presenter is Patricia Joy, professional quilter and quilt historian.
Come to the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) meeting on Saturday, Feb. 15, 10:30 at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Bldg., 1550 Main St., Durango, Colo.
For more information or to carpool, call Sherryl Egy at (970) 507-0646 or come to our meeting.
The Sarah Platt Decker Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is a nonpolitical/nonprofit service organization representing the Archuleta and La Plata counties. Membership is open to all women over the age of 18, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can trace their lineage from an ancestor who aided in achieving American Independence. The DAR, as we are known, has three missions: historical preservation, promotion of education and patriotic endeavor.
The members are a lot like you, coming from diverse backgrounds and having a variety of interests. Their common bond is their lineal descent from patriots of the American Revolution.
