Visions Museum of Textile Art Fundraiser April 26th, 2025 (Moral Economies and Matrilineages of Quilts)

Quilting was once a requirement for families that wanted to conserve cloth by making blankets and other useful tools of life. Quilting also is sometimes a masterful show spanning the full color spectrum. The Visions Museum of Textile Art provides an eye sensory experience of robust colorful displays and hand-crafted work that could take a month or longer to finish. The time and expertise needed to complete one of these dazzling works is significant and the skill necessary to create quilted pieces of textile art were years in the making. 

There is a story behind quilt making. Quilts are more than something to throw over a bed. Moral and matrilineages stories are often woven into some pieces. You may read about the history of quilting in Moral Economies and Matrilineages (pdf).

The museum offers some unique quilting displays, education, and information, Their purpose is, "Visions Museum of Textile Art celebrates and advances contemporary quilting and textile art through exhibitions that explore cultural traditions, contemporary relevance, and innovative creativity."

They also do a few nice things for others such as,

• Support the families of LA fire victims with art pieces.
• Further they partner with Liberty School to teach kids about art and showcase their work for visitors. I saw two pieces that I thought were done by professionals. Liberty School Program
