Join us as we welcome Beth Hunter, UAB historian and quilter. Alabama is filled with beautiful quilts, old and new, each with their own story.
Using quilts as a medium, Beth will discuss the people and places that make up the fabric of the state.
Beth Hunter is a historian and quilter. She currently teaches history at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a college student, she became interested in the events between World War I and II, specifically the topics of the Great Depression and New Deal. As a result, she enrolled in various domestic classes to immerse herself as a woman living in this time period. Out of this experience grew a deep love of quilting. Her quilts have been displayed locally and in Birmingham's sister city, Hitachi, Japan. She is currently writing a book on quilts in Alabama, showcasing quilts from each county.
