Last summer, as a former Summer Sampler block designer, I contributed a block to the Summer Sampler Black Lives Matter quilt, which is now listed on eBay for Charity, with all proceeds going to Social Justice Sewing Academy.
20 makers contributed to the quilt, which measures 72" x 72". The quilt auction is live until March 1 at 11am.
Social Justice Sewing Academy is a great cause.... "Piecing together youth voices, textile art, and community in a 21st Century Sewing Circle." I've had the pleasure of hearing founder Sara Trail speak a couple of times, and her enthusiasm and dedication to helping youth create art that engages and educates communities is truly inspiring.
I love that group and just finished a memory quilt for a family who's son was murdered by police...hard to do but rewarding
