October Program: Paula Golden Presents The Art and Science of Quilt Making

Learn the many connections between between history, battles, myths, art, technology, math and science all  stitched together between three layers.

Paula’s “elevator speech” boils down to the title of a song in Roger and Hammerstein’s musical, Carousel, “I Cain’t Say No.”  Those words have led her to some fabulous quilt making experiences throughout her life.  Paula has been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, which has lead to all sorts of fabulous quilting experiences.  (Or, she could not sit on her hands when volunteers were requested.)  She is a co-author of the book, The Quilts of Virginia – the Birth of America Through the Eye of A Needle, sponsored by the Virginia Consortium on Quilters; Past-President of the Board of Directors of the Virginia Quilt Museum; founder of Cabin Branch Quilters, Prince William County, VA; Teacher of the Year, The Professional Quilter Magazine; on Jinny Beyer’s teaching staff for 20 years; co-organizer of Along the Spice Route with Ann Reardon, a exhibit that toured the US for three years.  Paula is someone who is passionate about quilts, quilters, their stories, and the techniques for almost 50 years.
