Ostensibly the story of a pioneer woman and her six daughters, Quilters blends a series of interrelated scenes into a rich mosaic which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life. Illuminating stories contained in various patches or “blocks” with music, dance and drama, the action depicts the lot of women on the frontier: girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, twisters, fire, illness and death. But, with this, there is also love, warmth, rich and lively humor and the moving spectacle of simple human dignity and steadfastness in the face of adversity. Helpful Information: Excerpts of Quilters will be presented free at 7:00pm, Friday, September 21, in the rotunda in conjunction with the 3rd annual Sew Delightful Quilt Guild exhibit on display throughout The Renaissance Center September 19-26.
