Join us for a Quilting Bee-style mending event! Quilting Bees have traditionally been used as a place for individuals to come together and affirm their communities. Taking this idea as inspiration, we will we come together to collectively mend and amend a large vintage, tattered, stained, rescued American Flag. As we stitch, we will take the opportunity to talk about ideas of freedom, as well as our concerns, fears, hopes and dreams for the country.
