Pieces of Me - Quilted Expressions of Human Ties

Quilt

What's Your Story?

Many small relationships are integral pieces in the fabric of the person we call “me.” The narrative of “my life” starts as a relationship with self, involves family ties, expands to interactions within a community, and reaches out to connect with the world. Seemingly commonplace quilts can illustrate the complex nature of human ties and tell a story that beautifully ties together all of the pieces of “me.”

Everyone has a story. Listening to the stories of others can enrich our lives. Please share a “piece of you” with us by contributing the story of one of your cherished quilts. Tell us about the people your quilt helped connect you to. While you are here, explore the stories of others as they express the human ties in their lives through the medium of quilting.
