SONGQUILTS: A Celebration of Stitch and Song
an MQG Creative Webinar by Eliza Hardy Jones,
PMQG Member!
When: Tuesday, April 17, 2018 1:00pm EST
What: Join PMQG member, Eliza Hardy Jones for a webinar that
combines quilting, culture, music, and rich regional history from around the
world.
Stitching and songs collide in Eliza Hardy Jones’ latest
project, entitled Song Quilts. Song Quilts visually interprets folk
music from four distinct regions of Russia and the United States: Appalachian
Mountain Music, Cowboy Music of the Western Plains, Moscow Music, and Music of
the Russian Arctic.
Eliza spent a year travelling across the United States and
Russia to interview women about their regional folksong traditions. These songs
have been transcribed into fabric and thread, as a visual piece of sheet music
representative of folk tradition.
