About this event
Join us for a sewing workshop series at Wynnewood inspired by the book, All That She Carried. In that book, a handsewn sack is passed down from generation to generation providing a tangible connection for a family who endured slavery. Textiles are often handed down from generation to generation and we all have had a "lucky" garment...we wear, sleep under, and spend our lives close to fabric.
In this workshop series, we put needle and thread to work preserving our own histories. Whether it's learning to make a paper-pieced quilt from scraps of treasured textiles or honing your embroidery skills to pass down family wisdom in stitch form - honor your history by stitching memories and embracing “the space between the stitches”.
