BMA Violet Hour: Gee’s Bend Quilting Bee
Join us for an interactive, community quilting bee in celebration of the She Knew Where She Was Going: Gee's Bend Quilts and Civil Rights exhibition. This program, produced in partnership with the African American Quilters of Baltimore, is open to all ages and skill levels. Attendees are invited to come together to create a community quilt to benefit Black Women Build.
Enjoy an exhibition presentation, step-by-step quilt making instructions, learn about the culture and history of quilting, the Gee's Bend quilting community, and the civil rights movement.
I will be giving a talk about the history and culture of quilting. Hope you can join us!
