Come create historical quilting blocks from fabric using traditional symbols and techniques, as you learn the hidden codes used by our enslaved ancestors and abolitionists to escape to freedom

We will view the quilts from famous Gees Bend quilters. These quilts once made to keep families warm and cozy are now selling for thousands of dollars.

After the tour you will quilt a block while learning the double meaning of traditional quilt patterns. No sewing experience required and all supplies are provided.
