Quilted Histories:
Margaret Anglin

Curators: Ellie Angin & Emmy Anglin | Jan 18 - Feb. 1, 2020

An exhibit celebrating Margaret Anglin's life and work, with loving curation by her daughters, Ellie and Emmy Anglin. 

​

Margaret was an extremely skilled, innovative and prolific quiltmaker, who adapted the traditional media and techniques of quiltmaking to tell her life story. 

​

On September 4th 2019, Margaret lost her courageous battle with cancer, and these quilts remain as treasured family heirlooms and an artistic legacy. Together, her quilts form a kind of chronicle, set down in collage-like forms that weave together the objects, animals, books, people, places and ideas that shaped her family's stories. A selection of her quilts were exhibited in Quilted Histories, and a handmade zine featuring photos and stories was made available to attendees.
