Rebecca's Reel Quilters

January Meeting

Sunday, January 4, 2025, 2-4 PM Poricy Park Nature Center & via Zoom

​

This will be a hybrid meeting. 

​

Meg Cox will inspire our new year of quilting with her thoughts on Making Meaning:  How Quilters Celebrate Life.   

​

Meg’s two main specialties are FAMILY TRADITIONS and QUILTING, two wildly misunderstood topics. Both are thought to be old-fashioned and un-hip which could not be farther from the truth.  An expert on tradition who has written four books on ritual, Meg Cox shares examples of quilters’ celebrations but also shows powerful ideas from her own life. She shares what she has learned in 20 years of research about what makes traditions unforgettable.  

​

Meg was hired as a staff writer by the Wall Street Journal at age 24, and worked at the WSJ in Chicago and New York for 17 years.  She continues to contribute weekend arts features to the Journal.   

​

Meg has written for many national magazines, and has lectured and taught all over the country.  Meg also serves on the board of advisors for the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.
