We will welcome the Princeton Sankofa Stitchers, who will present an absolutely amazing program called, Paying Homage to Harriet Powers. They will bring their most significant challenge to date: recreating Harriet Powers’ Pictorial Quilt (1898) as individual blocks. The guild proudly upholds the, “Each One, Teach One.” philosophy. This succinct phrase encapsulates their commitment to preserving and disseminating African American cultural experiences within the diverse tapestry of quilting. Their creative endeavors extend to the incorporation of African fabrics, melding these textiles into a myriad of design styles, thereby infusing their work with a distinctive and culturally significant flavor. It reflects the heart of Sankofa Stitchers: a collective dedication to learning, teaching, and maintaining a rich heritage.
