          Trip to Granby Historical Society and Lunch

The program that the historical society has arranged for us will include the following:

   A viewing of two silk embroideries made by sisters Hilpah and Melissa Hays in 1803 while they attended the Litchfield Female Academy.  Not usually on display, they will be taken out of storage so our members can view them.

   A bed-turning of quilts held in the historic Abijah Rowe House, circa 1732.  Embroidered redwork, crazy quilts and others will be included, along with examples of fine quilting.

   A viewing of samplers in the Rowe House and an exhibit of various pieces of handwork set up especially for the Connecticut River Valley Embroiderers Guild.  They understand that our interests cover most forms of needlework including fine crochet and knitting.

   A display of vintage ladies gowns, including a lace wedding gown from the late 1930s.

The morning program will last two hours, and the fee is $15/person.
