The Quilt Museum is holding one of their “Sundays at the Museum” lectures tomorrow (Sunday the 10th): Joyce Robinson: The Most Famous Quilter You Never Heard Of. You’ve been seeing Joyce Robinson’s quilt designs for years on the pages of Quilter’s Newsletter, Quiltmaker, McCall’s, and The Quilt Life magazines—maybe you’ve even made a quilt from one of her patterns! Joyce will share the behind-the-scenes and often entertaining back stories. Museum doors open at 11:00 a.m. Presentations begin at 2:00 p.m. $10 per person includes museum admission and refreshments. Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum members admitted free.

Hoaxes and scams were prevalent during the 19th century including “the great diamond hoax” and “McGinty the petrified man.” Learn about the despicable crime boss who lived in the Golden area from historian and storyteller Ed Weising. Members $10; non-members $15. More information.
