Please join us for week seven of Bertha’s Summer of Love at the Women’s Center on Wednesday. Aug. 7 from noon to 1:00pm in Building 2N, Room 106.
This week, we will focus on a quilt-as-you-go tradition that grew out of the physical isolation of the Isle of Man, a British Crown dependency in the Irish Sea. Without access to many tools, Manx women developed a style of stitching fabric to create warmth and beauty. This simple form makes a great introduction to the ways women have made art out of deprivation. Come and learn about how the traditional pattern developed and make a square based on the dimensions of your own hand. Any level of sewing can do this with ease.
Join a community of friendly stitchers, relax, learn, hang out, and just have fun. All supplies will be provided along with snacks and drinks.
All are welcome—students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
