Fiber art has a rich, complex and deep history in America, which, in fact, may be sitting on your bed right now. Bed quilts and other textile works are being de-stigmatized and are stepping into the halls of fine art. Its narrative threads are connecting us to our past and future and tell stories about our communities in ways you may not expect. Curious?
