Stitch America Together is an embroidery and quilting community art project about how daily choices and actions can make a difference in our country.
It is important for each of us to ask ourselves what we can personally contribute to society. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless when thinking of the current and recurring problems in our country. Do small daily choices make a difference? This quilting and embroidery project exists to facilitate discussions about what you and I can do in our daily lives to improve our country.
The concept for this project was originally developed as a final project for a class in an Art Education masters program. It was inspired by the 2008 Presidential election, and the presence of community and conversation in traditional quilting bees.
The purpose of this site is to introduce the project and provide a place to document the process and final products of the groups.
