Join us for an inspiring evening of creativity and community!
🧵 About the Workshop
Steve Prince, Director of Community Engagement and Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Muscarelle Museum of Art, will guide you in creating meaningful quilt squares that tell YOUR story. No artistic experience required—just bring your imagination!
🎨 Two Quilts, One Community
Your squares will contribute to:
The Gloucester250 Quilt
America's Great Birthday Quilt—a monumental 5 ft x 250 ft quilt celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial, debuting in 2026
See What's Already Been Created!
Our community has been crafting beautiful squares featuring butterflies, floral patterns, musical notes, messages of faith and hope, beehives symbolizing community, and so much more. Each square is unique and tells a personal story—yours can too!
🗓️ Can't Make the Workshop?
Stop by the museum Tuesday-Saturday, 10 AM-5 PM through November 20 to create your squares at your own pace. Make as many as you like!
✨ What to Expect
Discover how textiles tell stories of identity, unity, and freedom
Create squares using fabric, buttons, ribbon, felt, and more (all provided!)
No sewing required—fabric glue works beautifully
💰 Completely FREE & Open to All Ages
"When we look beyond broken fabric pieces and see the life within them, we learn to see each other the same way—bringing us closer together as a people." — Steve Prince
