The African American Quilters of Baltimore was founded in 1989 by three
African American quilters seeking the community of other African American
quilters. Their primary goal was to offer support and information for
African American quilters in an environment of acceptance and welcome.
Since that time, we have grown steadily and now include quilters of all
skill levels, from beginners to professionals. In
addition, our members participate in projects in schools and libraries
in keeping with our "Each One, Teach One" philosophy. Community service is an important part of our program. We conduct ongoing
projects which include: providing baby quilts for a local pediatric unit,
crib throws and quilts for preschool and abused children, and hats and
comfort cushions for women recovering from breast cancer. We also make
annual contributions to the American Cancer Society and the Pratt Library
where our meetings are held. |
