We’re excited to see America’s Tapestry getting some wonderful press coverage! This remarkable project—13 hand-embroidered panels commemorating our nation’s 250th anniversary—is capturing attention across the region and beyond.
The Eagle Tribune recently highlighted that four New England panels (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island) are going to be displayed at our Region Day event at the Doubletree by Hilton in Nashua on November 1st, giving visitors a chance to see the work in progress and even add their own stitches.
William & Mary News featured an in-depth look at the project underway at the Muscarelle Museum of Art, where the Virginia panel is being stitched. The article introduces project founder Stefan Romero, who was inspired to create America’s Tapestry after visiting The Great Tapestry of Scotland.
Needle ‘n Thread, Mary Corbet’s popular embroidery blog, called America’s Tapestry “a BIG project” and praised its impressive organization. Community News covered the New Jersey panel’s progress, including a public event at Princeton’s Updike Farmstead.
The coverage highlights what makes the America’s Tapestry project so special: bringing together stitchers from across all thirteen original colonies to tell the often-overlooked stories of diverse individuals who contributed to our independence—from the Pine Tree Riot of 1772 in New Hampshire to the Coosuk Abenaki who helped Patriots defend the northern border (Eagle-Tribune).
