| Description: | This lecture is a brief discussion about the significance of quilting in the African American culture. The lecture will trace African American quilting from Africa to America. Bring a quilt to the lecture to add to the discussion. A hands on craft workshop will result in the making of a fabric post card. We will explore quilt pattern designs. All materials will be provided in the workshop. Aunt Be Quilts, Inc., by Belinda Pedroso, is a fiber art business devoted to teaching quilting techniques and sharing skills and knowledge about all forms of fiber arts. Ms. Pedroso teaches locally and throughout Georgia. Her Introduction to Quilting class, which is designed to introduce participants and aspiring quilters to the basic aspects of quilting, is one of her most popular and requested classes. She and her quilt guild members published a book about quilting entitled Quilters of Color showcasing the talents of African American quilters. | |
