Join Karen Nicholson, Ruthmere docent, as she presents a Gallery Talk on Quilts and Their Secrets.

This Gallery Talk was presented in Ruthmere's Game Room on Friday, October 2nd, 2020.

Ruthmere presents Gallery Talks the first week of each month, which feature a twenty-minute discussion on an object/artwork within the Ruthmere collection or a person or event in local history. 2020 Gallery Talks are free and open to the public courtesy to the generous support of 1st Source Bank.

This year, Ruthmere is proud to participate in Elkhart County's WE VOTE 2020 initiative - a collaboration of organizations in Elkhart celebrating of the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment, or women's right to vote! As part of Ruthmere's role in this initiative, ALL of our 2020 gallery talks will focus on some aspect of women’s history or historical achievements by women.

    In Appalachia certain quilt patterns were hung to alert neighbors if there was a sickness in the house.
  • I was going to watch this but you have the sides of the video blurred and that made it very distracting to the point I couldn’t listen to the speaker. Please learn how to edit
