Ten Years of Threads: The Princeton Sankofa Stitchers Modern Quilt Guild’s Journey Through Fabric and History celebrates a decade of creativity, storytelling, and artistic expression through quilting. This exhibit features the work of guild members, showcasing a rich variety of themes and textile art forms that reflect the unique voices and styles of each maker.
The collection highlights a wide range of fiber art techniques and includes narrative quilts, political quilts, nature-inspired works, cultural quilts, color studies, quilted garments, and memory quilts. Each piece demonstrates the power of fabric as both an artistic medium and a tool for preserving stories, honoring heritage, and expressing personal and collective experiences.
Together, these works reflect the guild’s journey over the past ten years—woven with history, culture, innovation, and community—while honoring the enduring tradition of quilting as both art and legacy.
