"Patchwork of the Prairie" and "The Fabulous Feedsack Era" 

In addition to her presentations of cowboy poetry, Yvonne's programs entitled "Patchwork of the Prairie" and "The Fabulous Feedsack Era" are two of the finest presentations in the heartland. In "Patchwork of the Prairie", Yvonne shows her collections of family quilts, spanning 140 years, including her own prize-winning creations. 

"The Fabulous Feedsack Era" is a historical presentation regarding feedsacks, the fabric of choice especially during the Great Depression, in which Yvonne displays actual vintage feedsacks, items made from them as well as quilts made from feedsack scraps. Poetry about quilts and quilters are presented throughout both trunk shows, which is enjoyed by men and women alike!

And, throughout the presentations, you will see power-point photos of the quilt makers, their homes, and items of interest to both programs. Both programs are included on the rosters of Humanities programs for both the States of Nebraska and South Dakota.

 

		Twelve of the special quilts featured in Yvonne's "Prairie Patchwork" trunk show are included in this set of note cards shown on the right.  These delightful cards are available for purchase with the CDs!
