April 12 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm

Free

Join the Quilting Circle Workshop at the Freedmen’s Town Visitor Center on April 12th! Led by Michelle Barnes, Community Artists’ Collective Executive Director, the Quilting Circle Workshop will introduce the quilting process to beginners starting with the classic nine-patch will be our block design. Instruction will be offered in hand sewing (hand piecing) techniques, however, a sewing machine will be available for participants to experience the difference between hand and machine stitching.

Although fabrics and supplies will be provided participants are invited to bring their own fabrics to incorporate in the design and/or to share with the group. Participants are also encouraged to discuss and get advice about a project they have in mind. Within the two-hour timeframe, participants will be able to complete at least one nine-inch block and leave with instructions as to how to enlarge and/or complete the project to their satisfaction.

Parking is available at the Gregory School Library African-American History Research Center located at 1300 Victor Street, Houston, Texas, 77019.
