Lectures
I have three different lectures on Baltimore Album Quilts:
The first (BAQ-L1) is a PowerPoint Presentation, which generally runs for between 60 and 75 minutes, is on the history of Baltimore Album Quilts, and defines its styles and elements.
The second lecture (BAQ-L2) is a PowerPoint Presentation, is again between 60 and 75 minutes in length, and is specific to the four Baltimore Album Quilts that belong to the collection at the Lovely Lane Museum.
The third lecture (BAQ-L3) is a Show-and-Tell using my reproduction Baltimore Album Quilts. I discuss the history and makers of the Baltimore Album antique blocks. The length of this lecture is also between 60 and 75 minutes.
These lectures may be modified to allow for either shorter or longer time periods.

Classes
I have designed four Baltimore Album Style Blocks for class use. I will be posting pictures of these blocks (MLU-O-4-MLU-O-7) as I complete them.The information below shows which blocks I have used in teaching my "Tips, Tricks and Techniques" classes. However, I am always willing to teach a new block if there is an interest. You may click on the picture of the block to see a larger image. It is necessary to have a pattern for each block. The blocks below are from three different sets of patterns:
- Lovely Lane Museum Set, Item #200-001, available from: Lovely Lane Museum. Each block below is identified by LL followed by a letter and then a number.
- Winterthur Museum Pattern Set, Old Otterbine Quilt, Item #200-001, available from: Winterthur Museum. Each block below is identified by WTH followed by a number.
- Elizabeth MacCullough Hervey Set, available from: Baltimore Appliqué Society (scroll down on their web page). Each block below is identified by EMH followed by a number.
- Other individual patterns are available at the time of the class and these blocks are identified by MLU followed by a letter and a number.
