April 9:  The Joys of Quilting

Michelle Bellows - Michelle has been quilting since 1981, primarily in a traditional style. The creativity and productivity in making quilts and the sense of being connected to women and their handiwork throughout time bring her deep joy. She would like to share some of her Joy in Quilting with you.

Following Michelle’s presentation, we will take a virtual tour of a recent Art Institute of Chicago exhibit. On Loss and Absence, Textiles of Mourning and Survival showcased over 100 objects from diverse cultures dating from antiquity to today. The objects reveal how people have used textiles to sustain spiritual beliefs, understand death, cope with grief and heal from trauma.
