Join us this Saturday for a book-signing with Salley Mavor, author/illustrator of Pocketful of Posies: A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes.

It took Salley ten years to develop her own fabric relief techniques. She embroiders and sews illustrations, each scene taking nearly a month to complete. In this book, she renders a new and visionary nursery rhyme world with precision and intricacy that generations of your family will treasure for years and years to come.

We're especially thrilled to have her here this year, since we're planning to exhibit her wonderful, whimsical scenes in a very special exhibit as part of our 2012 holiday celebrations.

Come do your holiday shopping at our one-day 20% OFF sale in the museum gift shop. Enjoy holiday refreshments, visit the Holiday Express model train and quilted village (children admitted FREE on Saturday) and have Salley Mavor autograph one of these wonderful books for that special child on your gift list.
