JOIN US for the opening reception of this special exhibit on Monday, October 2nd from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Enjoy light refreshments while getting the first look at these beautiful quilts. Sheryl Sims will be in attendance to answer your questions about her work!
Sheryl Sims is an inspirational artist and powerful storyteller who weaves her stories of family and faith into exquisitely designed quilts you will see on display from October 2 through December 31, 2023, at Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House.
With each quilt, Sheryl explores her heritage, including her enslaved and freed ancestors, and her connection to Woodlawn and Quaker Meeting. The quilts reveal a deeply personal journey of perseverance, resilience and, above all, hope.
