When Shannon Downey of Badass Cross Stitch discovered an unfinished quilt at an estate sale in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, she knew she had to finish it in honor of the original artist who had passed on. She also knew that she could not do it alone. Now see the glorious results and hear the story of what happened when 150 artists from across the country worked together to finish #RitasQuilt – featuring a beautifully embroidered map, fifty stars, and fifty states’ birds and flowers. Downey will speak about the project in-person and online. See website for details, and to sign up for the embroidery workshops.
