Who We Are

About The March Quilts

The March Quilts started as an annual art program shedding light on themes of civil and human rights. Community partners hosted sewing sessions and members of Bib & Tucker Sew-Op taught participants how to illustrate their thoughts about issues using embroidery and appliqué. Our organization has grown into a community of artists and activists who use their skills to inspire change.
