Quilting from its beginnings was a social art that brought women together to share one another’s company while combining their creative energies. In that spirit, join us for a quilt sharing day! Bring family quilts, or quilts you have made to share your stories. Ed Johnetta Miller will be showing quilts from her private collection.
All Guests Must Wear Masks. RSVP on facebook.
