What Home Means to Us: a Community Quilt Workshop

What Home Means to Us is a 6 part community based quilt workshop hosted by Annette Hines and Kat Smith of KY Tenants. This community quilt project explores our own stories of home, future possibilities for housing, intersecting identities with housing, and works to translate these experiences through quilt making.

Lexington: September 14th 

Berea: October 13th 

Morehead: November 2nd 

Whitesburg: December 7th

Participants will be learning some basic design techniques to create their own narrative based quilt block. Each quilt block will utilized fabrics hand dyed with indigo and goldenrod as the backdrop. 

No quilting experience required! Folks will leave the workshop having completed a quilt square that will be a part of a larger community quilt to be displayed in 2025. Additionally, Annette will be talking with participants about the work of KY Tenants, housing in KY, and Community Land Trusts as a possible solution.
