Stitching The Stories: Annual Quilt Exhibition

The Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History
Opening Reception: October 6, 3-5 pm

Quilt making has long been a form of storytelling art. Its deep historical roots through the years have made this art form a communication tool. The history of a family, the stories of a culture, and the bonding of a community have been preserved in the art of quilt making. Traditionally embraced as an activity performed by the women of a community, quilts became legacy icons of a family life. They were pieced together by hand using a variety of discarded clothing, old linens, and the remnants of sewing projects. Pieces of daily life were literally stitched together.
