Every winter, Art Shanty Projects invites dozens of artists to construct one-of-a-kind huts on frozen Lake Harriet, just a few miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. For their “Quilt Shanty,” Emily Quandahl and Madeline Cochran conceived of a vibrant, blanket-like patchwork design that transports the feeling of comfort to the stark openness.

This is the last day of my long weekend. Here is the table runner. I still have to appliqué a couple of pieces. I believe this is 22inches by 48 inches. I look forward to handquilting this. #quilting #Startrek #tablerunner

Carolyn Mazloomi (1948-) started quilting in the 70s, but was for years best known as a quilt historian and mentor to other Black quilters, founding the Women of Color Quilters Network in 1986. Now retired from a career as an aerospace engineer, she recently opened her first solo gallery show in Harlem

Marla Jackson (1952-) was initially scorned by traditional quilters for her unique style and desire to call out historical injustices with her art. She founded the African-American Quilt Museum and Textile Academy, offering unique programs for youth and people on parole, so no one else need feel the sting such rejection

Learning George Washington Carver crocheted gives me the same feels as when I learned Calvin Coolidge quilted
History is always so much more interesting than just what I was taught in school
Fascinating story of a man I've never heard before

@fiberarts #quilting Has anyone heard this story and can corroborate or refute it?
@amenonsen There's a traditional quilt style of the Seminole whose origin story is that the US government had agreed to pay the tribe in goods including a certain amount of fabric, and what they delivered was the full promised amount—in strips one inch wide.
