Nature and environmental justice chosen for 2018 March Quilts theme

Bib & Tucker Sew Op-op has chosen nature and environmental justice as the theme for the 2018 March Quilts.

The inspirational March Quilt project began more than three years ago. Bib & Tucker’s first march Quilts celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches. The second quilts raised awareness about pay equity.  Last year’s 2017 March Quilts honored the 50th  anniversary of the Loving V. Virgina Supreme Court ruling on interracial marriage.

This year’s theme is simple: “Nature and the way in which we interact with her.”

Here is what Bib & Tucker is seeking (from their fact sheet):

“We’re calling all native species enthusiast, recycling wonks, National Park advocates and urban greenway trailblazers to join us.

Making a quilt block is a fun, simple process and no sewing experience is necessary. Your block may embody any representative of NATURE through images, symbols or words.”

Below is the open sewing session schedule for 2018.  Make sure to check Bib & Tucker’s Facebook page regularly for additional events.
