Who We Are

Sistas Joined by the Cloth celebrates culture, color, design and tradition. We are a Greater Boston based group who come together at least once a month to share ideas and techniques.

We are joined together by our shared experience in quilting which focuses on the African American women's perspective in the Americas.

The art of quilting has traveled across oceans, survived 400 years of slavery and has been carried down by generations of our family and friends. Now it's up to us to keep the tradition going and to pass it along.

Over the centuries, women of African descent have joined together to make quilts as a way of sharing our joys, sorrows, traditions and to celebrate our history.

Quilting connects us to our ancestry, preserves our memories and gives us a way to connect with generations to come.

Sistas Joined by the Cloth celebrates our heritage and reinforced the link that binds us to our collective history. Sistas Joined by the Cloth is our way of contributing and participating in our traditions.
