Threads of Community and Time
Across generations, these quilts demonstrate that sewing is never just functional work. They serve as tactile archives where collective identity, local landmarks, and artistic craftsmanship merge one block at a time.
A selection of quilts on display will be included in our silent auction this year. Please see auction details below.
Join us for a special opening reception at the Mount Tabor Library on Wednesday September 2 from 6:00pm to 7:00pm.
Quilts can be seen during normal library hours, which can be found right here.
