~Rhythm of the Cloth Exhibit ~

Nubian Heritage Quilters Guild

In keeping with our tradition of celebrating the legacy of African-American quilting, Nubian Heritage Quilters Guild presents Rhythm of the Cloth.  Join us in an exploration of visual pattern, harmonious motifs, and textures that move in cadence across quilted textiles. We share this collection of quilting traditions and patchwork, modern techniques and collage, storytelling as well as abstract expressions. We also honor our female ancestors who fought courageously for the right to vote and passage of the 19th Amendment.    

View the visual rhythm of 

 ethnic fabrics, graphic images, and bold stitches.  

Feel the Rhythm of the Cloth.
