Drop In Community Quilting Workshop

Nancy Nicholas Hall
@ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Together-together is a collaborative, evolving quilt project by Carlee Latimer, featured in the exhibition Find Your Quilt. Throughout the exhibition, visitors were invited to interact with the piece by completing the prompt “Quilts Are… ____” using interchangeable letters displayed in the gallery. Each response was temporarily spelled out in the quilt’s pockets and captured with a Polaroid—becoming part of its ongoing story. These contributions have been incorporated into the final version of the quilt.

Together-together is ready for even more hands. Find your flow as you add your stitches to this collaborative quilt-in-progress. Come connect, create, and be part of the story, one stitch at a time—all levels of sewing experience welcome. This workshop invites participants to help guide the quilt-in-progress to its closing chapter. In this session, we’ll focus on finishing techniques—binding edges, reinforcing seams, adding final marks—and honoring the accumulated labor of many makers.

No registration required

This event is part of the HLATC Community Day.

A photo of a gallery space with a quilt on display on the wall. This quilt is is made up of a variety of colored and patterned fabrics. Fabric patchwork letters near the top of the quilt read "Quilts Are". Beneath the phrase, signboard letters spelling out "community", "home", "art", and "maps." Surrounding the text, many polaroid photographs are displayed in mesh pockets on the quilt. To the left of the quilt is a white pedestal with a purple polaroid camera, a museum label standing behind the camera, and a wooden box containing more signboard letters. In the background to the far left is a window, through which a lobby space can be seen.
