Quilting Bee
Description
Thread your needle and put your thimble on! It's time for a quilting bee. This event was more than the production of bed coverings - it was a chance for community women to get together and socialize. In this half-day workshop, an experienced quilter will teach you the history of quilting and show you artifact quilts displayed at King's Landing. You will discuss how to set up and quilt a typical bed covering, then try your hand at the "Nine Patch Star" pillow top that you can take home.
Quilt side by side with the costumed Kings Landing staff on a reproduction quilt they are working on, and catch up on the gossip of a 19th century village.
