Lone Star Quilt Study Group invites you to a day of “Summertime Blues”
How many blues can be packed into one quilt study day?

#2 - Examples of Prussian Blue: This session will help refine our eye regarding Prussian Blue printed fabric from the 18th and 19th centuries. Many examples of Prussian Blue printed fabric will be shown in quilts as well as garments. Presented by Dr. Marian Ann Montgomery.
