May 14, 2025 (Wed) Program: Kathy K. Wylie “The Times of Our Lives”
The Times of Our Lives: Our stitches tell our stories; our quilts leave a legacy. The time we spend with each quilt becomes part of our journey in life, giving us moments of reflection and opportunities for expression. The theme of time has been integral in Kathy’s recent work, as she considers its relationship with the creative life.
This lecture celebrates the joy in the journey,
the quilts along the way,
the time of our lives.
