Roderick Kiracofe

Unconventional & Unexpected – Quilts that Break the Rules

Monday, March 8

7:00 pm

Roderick Kiracofe

Roderick Kiracofe, a noted quilt collector and author from San Francisco, will give a lecture at our regular meeting on Monday, March 8, 2021. Titled “Unconventional & Unexpected–Quilts that Break the Rules, his lecture will feature quilts from his extensive collection. He’ll explain how old things from the basement, the garage or his grandmother’s house around the corner in Indiana intrigued and then hooked his interest. You’ll see his favorite quilts, which are pieced, often crudely quilted or tied and full of printed fabrics, yet at the same time quirky, funky and soulful expressions of quiltmakers who broke the rules. Join us for a memorable night of the exotic and unusual!

Learn more about Roderick.

Unconventional & Unexpected
One of Roderick’s books, published in 2014 and illustrated by quilts in his collection.
