Do you love quilts?

Join us on September 25th from 12:30-3:00 to learn about the quilting techniques and rich cultural heritage of the Siddi community, an African diasporic group living in the Karnataka province in India.

During this program we will explore textile traditions, sew, and share stories alongside members of the Princeton Sankofa Stitchers Modern Quilt Guild. You can even work on a quilt piece to take home.

Learn more on our website. Link in bio.
