Elephants, the Michelin Man, and Sunbonnet Sue: 20th-Century Pictorial Embroidered Quilts
Among the most cheerful and charming quilts made in the 20th century were white with red, blue, green, or multicolored embroidered images-some realistic and lovely, others cartoonish and silly. These quilts were hugely popular across the country from the 1910s into the 1930s and 100 years later these newly minted antiques survive in considerable numbers. Catch this exabit while here to see the international quilt show Tribes.

Ralph Berky: Butter Valley Poet and Naturalist
Ralph W. Berky (1890-1977) was known in the Butter Valley area as "The Birdman." He was an eccentric figure walking the Valley in a long overcoat that had pockets filled with birdseed. His love of nature was evident in his hand illustrated postcards inscribed with his poetry. Pastor Bob Gerhart will discuss Ralph's unusual life and contributions to Butter Valley.
