Stitching Together History: 250 Quilts Commemorating the Commonwealth of Virginia

Stitching Together History: 250 Quilts Commemorating the Commonwealth of Virginia is the product of over 3 years of work. These quilts are all 20” by 20” and commemorate a person, place, event, or idea from Virginia’s history. Some are serious. Some are silly. Some are abstract. Some represent a well known person or place, others are more niche subjects from the past. All come together to create a unique project commemorating the history of our Commonwealth, and in many ways the history of the nation.

This project is made possible in part by a grant from VA250 Commission in partnership with Virginia Humanities. The Virginia Tourism Corporation has also provided funding for marketing this exhibition. Thank you to our funders.
