We the People Community Quilt Starter Workshop + Sewing Studio Session
Join our We the People Quilt Workshop! Create a collaborative art project for justice and democracy. Design your panel today. Assert your power now!
About the Class
We are creating a quilt to display a vision for a more perfect union, where liberty and justice for all is real for everyone. At a moment of rising fascism and accelerating attacks on human rights, democracy, and the environment, this project asserts a simple truth: the power belongs to the people.
Through this collaborative art project, we’re coming together to reflect what we value, what we hope for, and what kind of world we want to build together, and making it visual.
Read more about this project at wethepeoplequilt.org.
This Quilt Starter Workshop has two parts:
- Project introduction, thematic brainstorming and technical and design information for completing your quilt panel. Participants that decide to join the project, will be provided a 29.5″ square cotton muslin panel to use as the panel base. (~1 hour)
- Open studio time in the Fiber Arts Studio, equipped with sewing machines and room to work. Get started patterning, designing and creating your panel. We have materials for you to use, or bring your own fabrics. We recommend you bring your own scissors to this part, if possible.
From inexperienced to experts, all are welcome. Don’t know how to sew? No problem!
Open to individuals of all ages, groups, and makers of every skill level—no prior experience required. Panels may be sewn or no-sew and created using a wide range of materials and techniques. Use your favorite choice of media: including quilting, emboidery, applique, photo transfer and more.
Perfection is not the goal.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
