Come learn about memorial quilts that will honor the 270 individuals enslaved at Belle Grove from the 1780s to the 1860s. Community members stitched the name and birthdate of each person on fabric. Textile artist Carole Gary Staples of Ohio arranged the blocks into family trees and surrounded each family with African batik fabrics. Local quilt expert Pam Pampe assembled the quilt and prepared it for hand quilting. Now, the community is invited to participate.
All materials and instructions will be provided, and no prior quilting experience is necessary.
There is no charge to participate but space is limited. Please RSVP to at https://bellegrove.org/calendar/quilt by March 25.
More future events are being organized for the community to see the quilt and take a stitch--more information at https://bellegrove.org/calendar/quilt
