Stitching a Culture Together: African American Quilters of Ohio is an awakening to the unknown and uncelebrated contributions of African American quilters in Ohio. Bright, bold, and beautiful, capturing the imagination with cleverly told stories and mesmerizing the eye with their beauty, African American quilts have been instruments of cultural transmission, chronicling family history, memorializing pain and tragedy, and celebrating significant events.
