Join Faith and Stephen Brown to celebrate their major gift of Amish quilts to the Smithsonian American Art Museum with an in-depth tour of Pattern and Paradox: The Quilts of Amish Women. The Browns will be joined by Leslie Umberger, SAAM’s curator of folk and self-taught art, as they lead a discussion about Amish quilts made in the United States between 1880 and 1950, and discuss the collecting passion that has sustained them for more than forty years.
