Quilting from the Soul Workshop September 19, 2009

Join Dr. Gaither for a morning of story quilting at the Banneker-Douglass Museum. Learn about the art of story quilting and then create your own quilt square using images and text. Discover how you can tell your own story through fabric. Prior quilting experience is not required. Participants are invited to bring personal photos to scan onto their quilt squares.

Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither is a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
