    Join us for a docent-led tour of the exhibit, Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California, at the National Museum of Women in the Arts on Thursday 19 November at 11 a.m.

    The exhibit traces the flow and flourishing of quilts in the context of a mass movement of approximately five million African Americans from the rural South to cities in the North and West between 1940 and 1970. Nearly 80 artworks highlight artistic approaches such as repurposing work clothes, improvisational piecing, pattern-based quilting, and tying. The quilts by more than 70 individuals thread the needle between Black people’s historical movements and their quilts to tell stories of collective care, resilience, and creativity.

    For more information on the exhibit go to  https://nmwa.org/exhibitions/routed-west-twentieth-century-african-american-quilts-in-california/.

    FQU Workshop—Joni Seidenstein—Joni’s Bag

    You could make a bag like this.


    With this bag design, you can make anything from a small bag to a tote. All that changes with this method are the dimensions and whether the bag has one strap or two. Loops are optional. 

    The workshop will be in a classroom on the first floor to the left of where we have our regular meetings. Joni says this little drawstring bag is a "quality item that has practical use and can also bring a touch of whimsy to your life.” She says we will finish a bag in class!

    What to bring:

    Sewing machine and regular sewing supplies: thread, scissors, ruler, rotary cutter, pins or clips. Supplies needed: a strap whatever width you prefer. Joni suggests the strap be canvas webbing that is 1” to 1.5" wide that you can get at the Fabric Place Basement or from wawak.com. If you want something fancier, you can check Artistic Artifacts or https;//sewsweetness.com/  If you want to wear this bag as a crossbody bag, measure from your hip to the opposite shoulder and double that measurement and add one inch. You’ll also need 4 squares of fabric measuring 8 1/2” x 8 1/2” (two of these will be the outside of the bag and 2 will be the lining. Joni likes a slightly heavier fabric for the outside.) 4 squares of interfacing (such as Shapeflex 101), 28” of grosgrain ribbon plus 16 more inches for the loops, and a cord lock. A kit will be available for $5, payable to the instructor on the day of class, which will include Shape Flex 101, ribbon, and a cord lock.

    Cost: $15, nonrefundable

    Over the past nine years, Kelly Spell has exhibited more than 50 quilts at more than 80 shows around the world. In this lecture, she shares what she has learned from those experiences and why it’s important for quilters to submit their work to exhibitions. She also reveals her favorite places to find calls for entry, tips to track your submissions, and best practices for photographing quilts, writing an artist statement, and shipping to shows. Plus, learn how to determine if a specific exhibition is a good fit for your work and artistic practice. By sharing her journey into the world of exhibitions, she hopes to inspire YOU to show your work!

    Underground Railroad Quilts: Fact vs Fiction

    Jan Doyle is a media personality with her own show, Wyse Talk, on cable and YouTube.  Jan has appeared on Good Morning CT for three years with Classroom Connections, taught elementary and high school, and loves to travel.  As a teacher, Jan felt the one page in the history books devoted to the Underground Railroad completely inadequate. Personal interest and study led to the creation of the program she will be presenting.
