Welcome!The African American Quilters of Baltimore was founded in 1989 by internationally known quilt artist, Barbara Pietila. Her primary goal was to offer support and information to African American quilters in an environment of acceptance and welcome. Since that time, the group has grown in size and diversity, and includes quilters of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. In addition, its members participate in community service projects for schools, libraries, museums, and medical facilities in keeping with our “Each One – Teach One” philosophy.
Over time we have broadened our membership to include individuals skilled in other fiber arts such as knitting, doll making, beading, weaving, wearable art, and host of related disciplines. The AAQB is the guild for the beginner who is looking for a supportive community for creative growth. We boast a culturally and racially diverse membership with individuals from all over the Baltimore and Washington DC Metropolitan area. We welcome all who share our interests. Yours in Creativity, Glenda Richardson, President |
