Description / Comments:
THE QUILT: Stories From the NAMES Project tells how in 1987
a small group of volunteers in a San Francisco storefront
workshop revived the old-fashioned notions of the quilt and
the quilting bee, and how their courage and determination -
and that of hundreds of other quilters all across the
country - created what has become the largest on-going
community arts project in America: The Quilt. Nearly 2,000
three-by-six foot individual panels have been designed and
sewn into The Quilt. Each one celebrates the life of someone
who has died of AIDS and the love and hope of those who have
made the panels in remembrance.
Many of these panels are depicted in full color in THE
QUILT and are acc
ompanied by letters and stories about those honored and
about some of the thousands of mothers, fathers, siblings,
lovers, friends, and neighbors who made the panels.
