Professional quilt dealer Joseph Sarah discusses Uncovering Your Quilt’s History at a free lecture from 2 to 4 p. Sarah gained an appreciation for this type of quilt during the 19 years he lived and worked on a Mennonite farm in Goshen, Indiana. Sarah began to limit his collecting to the fine-quality quilts, selling some of his lesser-quality pieces to fund his purchases. Among his more famous clients are Ardis and Robert James, whose collection of 950 quilts is the cornerstone of the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska. With more than 30 years of collecting and selling quilts to his credit, Sarah has become an expert at determining the age, origin and value of quilts by studying their fabrics, patterns, techniques and conditions. The quilts are displayed in both the Hayes Museum and Hayes Home.
