The Brooklyn Quilters Guild's biennial quilt show took place at BKloft26 in Sunset Park, featuring contributions from nearly 100 members. The event showcased about 200 quilts, workshops, and a silent auction. A standout piece was the 'Star of Honor Memorial Quilt,' honoring 9/11 victims. Members dispelled stereotypes about quilting by highlighting the guild's vibrant community spirit and collaborative creativity. This celebration of quilting served not only as an exhibition but also as a reminder of resilience and remembrance as the anniversary of September 11 approaches.
It's an honor to be able to showcase this quilt during this year's quilt show as we approach the 24th anniversary of Sept. 11.
People think it's a group of little old ladies sitting around sewing... It's a huge room filled with people, and it's kind of a business meeting.
