As part of our 10-year celebration at TQS, we want to showcase special memories. Quilters often find that the hardest part of quilting comes before we touch any fabric. In this piece, which is beautifully presented by our producer Shelly Heesacker, 2 artists collaborate for greater inspiration.
 
A number of us were touched by this field piece highlighting poet Margaret Chula and quilter Cathy Erickson, whose collaborative book, "What Remains," was inspired by stories and photos of Japanese Americans in internment camps during the 1940s.
 

Star Members can watch Show 1103: The Skinny on Stripes in which this piece was featured.

What a beautiful friendship has grown out of this collaboration! I'm sure neither one will forget the experience.

Lovely quilts in a meaningful collaboration of a particularly sordid blotch on American history. It hurts to think about what our citizens had to endure.

These are beautiful quilts. Doing them for the Japanese-Americ ans will hopefully make people think about how to treat people better.
