What a wonderful accomplishment! Not only in the creativity and endurance of this guild, but in the acceptance of every new Sister who would join up!
May God continue to bless our founder, Jean Johnson, our leaders past, present and those to come!

Celebrating their 30th Anniversary as an arts organization, Quilting Sisters Of Color is a group of artists based in the DFW Metroplex who share a passion for the art of quilting and textiles. Founded in 1996, their works have been featured at the American Airlines DFW Terminal, the TAAC – TRAHC African American Committee Museum, Texarkana, Texas, Dallas Museum of Art, Community Centers and Churches throughout the DFW Metroplex.

This exhibition will be available for viewing during the City of Lewisville’s three-day event Juneteenth: The Cookout that celebrates the heart of community. Inspired by the tradition of gathering to share stories, music, laughter, and joy, this multiday event captures that spirit — no grill required. Experience live music, comedy, poetry, visual arts, and more in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. Together, we honor history, celebrate culture, and embrace the freedom that brings us all to the table.
