In addition to the National Museum of the American Indian quilt along that I posted about earlier, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is having a quilt along this year, too, called Fabric of Appalachia - https://www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/historyculture/fabric-of-appalachia.htm #Quilting #QuiltingNews

This is a must see #QuiltingNews post - you know how graphic novels exist? This is a graphic news article about a community #LGBTQ quilt project in Vermont! Not even kidding, the news article itself is written and illustrated in #ComicBook style. I couldn't be more delighted about the whole thing, the article, the project, it's all incredible https://www.sevendaysvt.com/arts-culture/comics-arts-culture/a-statewide-quilting-project-celebrates-queer-joy-in-vermont/ #Quilting
