Presented by the International Quilt Museum: "In the spirit of the Paris Olympics, join the International Quilt Museum for an extraordinary episode of Textile Talks with artist and Olympian Grace Latz.​ As part of the Olympian Artist program, Latz traveled to Paris in 2023 to create a one-of-a-kind contemporary quilt with local senior citizens. Titled “Full Circle,” the quilt is informed by t-shirt quilts often used to commemorate achievement in sport. It features upcycled sports fabrics sourced from a French recycling center in addition to personal textiles from Latz’ Olympic experience.​" Register today and watch when this episode airs this Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at 2 PM EDT.
