American quilts have decorated our beds and kept us warm for two centuries.  Peggy W. Norris explores the great variety of quilts from 1800 to 1976, with a special look at quilts made in Bergen County.  Get a sneak peek at the quilts to be displayed at the Bergen County Quilt and Coverlet Show on Oct 1 & 2, 2021.  

Peggy W. Norris, better known for her study of local history, has also made a study of American quilts, especially those made in Bergen County.  She is a member of the local Brownstone Quilters Guild and of the national American Quilt Study Group and a quilt-maker herself.  She and other local historians are planning a quilt and coverlet show in Ridgewood, New Jersey.  There will be an exhibit, special tours, a lecture, and an exhibit catalog.  Visit the Bergen County Quilt and Coverlet Show website for information about dates and times.
