Event Type : Quilt Day Lectures

On Saturday, May 21, 2022, Dana Jones will discuss a quilt honoring women. A call for 2-foot x 2-foot x 2-foot triangular quilts, each celebrating an individual woman, a group of women or a women’s issue, went out.  More than 500 were returned.

This slide show and lecture shares stories of some of the triangles, the makers and the women honored with an emphasis on triangles made by women who would later become known quilters and those made to honor quilters. The stories range from fun to inspiring to heart breaking. The quilts range from exquisitely made to first efforts. In the end, this is the story of women responding to a moment in history through an international community art project.

This event will be on the Zoom platform.  A link will be sent to those who register prior to the event.  Non-members who haven’t registered for one of Dana’s workshops can purchase a ticket for $10.00  Click Here  All GAAQG members and registrants for Dana’s workshops will receive the link at no charge during the week before the lecture.
