SUMMARY:Contribute to "The Witness Quilt"
DESCRIPTION:FGP has an opportunity to participate in “The Witness Quilt\,” part of Pittsburgh artist Louise Silk’s new exhibition at the Heinz History Center: Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life in the museum’s fifth floor Barensfeld Gallery. \n\n\n\n“The Witness Quilt” is an interactive community project. Silk has started to create a special quilt from 1\,152 patches of reused fabric\, each bearing folk sayings collected over a lifetime of listening and learning. \n\n\n\n“The Witness Quilt” embodies the major themes of Silk’s career. It explores the fluid boundaries between craft and art\, highlights quilting’s interactive and communal aspects\, and integrates Jewish cultural expression into the broader fabric of American life. \n\n\n\nThroughout the run of the exhibit\, Silk and a team of volunteers – the Patchwork Life Stitching Circle – will be stationed inside the exhibition to continue working on the quilt. \n\n\n\nA special display of the FGP archives will be on display on the sixth floor at the same time. \n\n\n\nSpecial Opportunities for FGP Members\n\n\n\nFree admission for all guild members March 9-16. \n\n\n\nBetween March 9-16\, FGP members are invited to participate in expanding the “The Witness Quilt” by bringing in a piece of fabric that holds personal significance and donating it for incorporation into the quilt or by volunteering to join the Stitching Circle. \n\n\n\nLouise will be available to meet with FGP members and give us a personal tour on  \n\n\n\nWednesday\, March 12\, 3-5 pmSunday\, March 16\, 1-3 pm \n\n\n\nNo prior registration is required. The Heinz History Center will have a list of FGP members and all you need to do is tell them your name and that you are a Fiberarts Guild member.
