Community HerStory Quilt

Visitors of all ages are invited to stop the Women’s Museum for free on May 6 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and help create a special HerStory Comunity Quilt. Come ready to create a quilt square inspired by a woman who inspires you with paint, thread, makers, etc. to add to our one-of-a-kind quilt that captures all of our stories.

Inspired by the quilting bees of the suffrage era, which not only helped women in the completion of their quilts, but it also afforded women the opportunity to exchange news and learn new skills, all in a mutually supportive way. When completed, the Women’s Museum of California’s Community HerStory Quilt will be added to Museum’s archives.
