SATURDAY | AUGUST 22 | 10:30 – 11:30 AM | NORMA KERSHAW AUDITORIUM
For Bowers Members Only: A Book Club Experience

Books at Bowers: Touring Through the Pages is a Bowers Docent Guild sponsored book club that pairs a topical book with a museum art experience.

The August book selection is The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini. This is the debut novel of Chiaverini's bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series. The story is a "timeless tale of family, friendship, and forgiveness as two women weave the disparate pieces of their lives into a bountiful and harmonious whole, and begin the legacy of the Elm Creek Quilters." (Simon & Schuster) Set in a small Pennsylvania college town, a young woman learns to quilt from a master quilter while helping the older woman with the restoration of her family estate and the resolution of past mistakes, leading to new beginnings for both women. The novel "glows with the love of quilts, the importance of family, and the value of friends with whom to share our joys and sorrows." (Kathryn Smith, Anderson Independent-Mail) (copyright 1999, 272 pages, paperback)

A docent led tour of The American Quilt exhibit will follow the book discussion.

Free event! Space is limited to 50 Bowers members. A confirmation email will be sent to participants prior to the event.
