Quilting Workshop
at the Daniel Boone Homestead
Sunday, April 26, 2026 ● 1:00-3:00pm

Have you always wanted to try quilting? Well now’s your chance! Join the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates for a quilt making workshop led by The Hopewell Quilters. Quilts were important in keeping us warm during the winter months. Did you know that colonial quilts were made from one piece of fabric for the top and one for the bottom with batting in the middle? These types of quilts are known as whole cloth quilts. As the years went on the designs became more elaborate on quilts. In the late 1700s and early 1800s
girls were supposed to have 13 quilts completed before they were married. Quilting bees were a way for the community to come together and help make quilts.
During the workshop on April 26 th , participants will make a potholder. The cost for the workshop is $20 for Daniel Boone Homestead Associate members and $25 for non-members. Fabric and supplies will be provided. The workshop is open to participants aged 16-adult and all skill levels are welcome. Space is limited to 15 participants.
