Community Quilting Workshop: Finishing Touches

As Together-together* nears completion, this final workshop invites a small group to help guide the quilt-in-progress to its closing chapter. In this intimate session, we’ll focus on finishing techniques—binding edges, reinforcing seams, adding final marks—and honoring the accumulated labor of many makers.

We’ll also get in our feels: reflecting on the collaborative process, the visual evolution that’s unfolded, and how Together-together has expanded our sense of what quilts are (and can be).

Whether you’re drawn to detailed work or live for the deep satisfaction of seeing something through, this workshop offers space for care, attention, and thoughtful closure.

*Together-together is a collaborative, evolving quilt project by Carlee Latimer, featured in Find Your Quilt. Throughout the exhibition, visitors are invited to interact with the piece by completing the prompt “Quilts Are… ____” using interchangeable letters displayed in the gallery. Each response will be temporarily spelled out in the quilt’s pockets and captured with a Polaroid—becoming part of its ongoing story. These contributions will eventually be incorporated into the final version of the quilt.
