Stitching the Fabric of Difference: Our American Quilt @ WCLS Deming Library
Mar 30 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Stitching the Fabric of Difference: Our American Quilt @ WCLS Deming Library | Everson | Washington | United States

What are the stories that build trust and connection between us? Join your neighbors in the greater Foothills area to uncover those stories and begin a Community American Quilt Project. Through this conversation together, facilitated by Jillian Froebe and Elizabeth Kerwin, we will set the tone for our quilt project (and enjoy some pizza). We’ll lift up the stories that build trust and connection with each other and this land we call home. The American Quilt Project is sponsored by a Project Neighborly grant from the Whatcom Community Foundation and the Friends of the Deming Library.
