Be a part of America’s 250th anniversary! America’s Tapestry panels from several New England states will be set up for Region Day participant stitching in the Studio Time room.
Members of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America across the Eastern Seaboard will be working together to embroider thirteen hand-embroidered panels, one for each of the original colonies. The panels illustrate the diverse stories of individual contributions–many overlooked–that reveal each colony’s struggle for Independence. Historical associations from across the states have volunteered to collaborate on the panels’ historical imagery and have generously agreed to host the stitchers as they work.
After the inaugural display at William & Mary’s historic campus–a stone’s throw away from Colonial Williamsburg, “America’s Tapestry” will tour a number of other historic venues throughout the East Coast.
If you’re interested in working on this historic project, please email Susan Polumbo.
