Glen Park Library present
African
American Quilts: A collaborative community project
Saturday, February 8
3:00pm
We’re headed to
the South where generations of folks still make quilts today using patterns that
their ancestors did during slavery and along the infamous Underground
Railroad. Take a slide
show "field trip" inside quilters' homes, handle
quilting pieces that are 100 years old, and create your own quilt block to add
to the Library's wall-hanging quilt.
In
the traditional manner of quilting bees, the Library's quilt, will be
made collaboratively as a group, from fabric scraps, glue, and cardboard, and
will hang and be shared publicly by the community during Black History Month
along with your name next to it.
For ages 5 and older
