The Story Quilt

The Story Quilt takes students on an interactive journey of the imagination. Audiences discover family stories, proverbs and word play, folk beliefs, and folkway-especially the stories, songs, dances, and games from Appalachian traditions. From an actual story quilt with 12 different quilt block designs, children select a block handmade by the artists' family and receive a story (and a history lesson) unique to that pattern.
