Women You Should Know in the History of Quilting Cranberry Island July 2002 This presentation begins with 19th century history, an introduction to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the role of women in the history of quilting. It continues to present day time with an emphasis on learning 'how to 4 read' a quilt. The clues are right in front of us, but can we read them? A question and answer period follows. Look forward to viewing quilts, hearing new quilting stories, learning of children's literature to read and updating quilt research resources.

This list started in 1995 as a suggestion on rec.crafts.textiles.quilting that we should share information about fiction which includes quilts, quilters, quilting, or patchwork. Since that time, quilters on other discussion groups worldwide have added titles to the list. The list includes fiction for children (including easy picture books), young adults, and adults. Due to the length of the list, I've divided it into two parts: Adult Fiction and Children and Young Adult Fiction. If you have suggestions for additions to this list, please e-mail Betty Reynolds. Annotations are particularly welcome. The list is growing and will never be complete SO long as you continue to send in new suggestions. amazon.com EARTH'S BIGGEST SELECTION! CLICK HERE Videos Shop!

Beaulieu Professional Position: Director of the Center for Adult Learning and Literacy (CALL) University of Maine, Orono, Maine My professional background: I have been Director of the Center for Adult Learning and Literacy since December 1, 1996. The journey that led me to this position has been an interesting one. I never had aspirations to be involved in adult and family literacy when growing up, but this is where I belong at this point in my life. Previous to this position, I was the Literacy Specialist at CALL, starting in November 1992. I began my professional career as a Medical Technologist and a Director of Laboratory Services. While working at this position, I began taking courses of personal interest that led to a B.S. in Home Economics and on to an MEd. majoring in Adult Education. I left the laboratory sciences to become the statewide planner for Nutrition Education Services. My next stop was a Home Economics teacher position in the public school system. While in the local school system, teaching Home Economics during the day and quilting in the evening, I accepted the job of Adult Basic Education Program Coordinator and have been in adult education since. At this time I began teaching quilting at the local adult education program, and have been passionate about quilting since. I went on to become a director of a local program and now am at the Center for Adult Learning and Literacy. It is my background in the sciences, statewide program planning, teaching, administration, adult education and teacher training that I bring to this presentation today. About Me I am a mother of two sons in college and wife to a devoted family man, whose passions include skiing and fishing for bass. I am a doctoral student at the University of Maine, researching adult and family literacy, minoring in women's history. I have woven my love of quilting into my personal, teaching, student and work life. I have created original fiber art for graduate course finals, as aids to teach adults and families reading, to create family heirlooms and to keep family members warm. I recently completed my husband's promised quilt of ten years, "I left my heart at Sugarloaf". I am an avid reader of mystery novels with quilting themes. I enjoy my gardens and creating patterns and designs for Mother Nature to bring to life.
