One of the panels made by Jennifer Baker for the We The People Community Quilt Project.

 
In times of friction, we survive by piecing together what we have. While quilts are born of necessity from discarded scraps, the We The People Community Quilt Project proves they can also house our highest ideals. Join host Michelle Marques as she attends a workshop hosted by Pamela Van Halsema, where Sonoma County residents are translating the abstract concept of democracy into tangible, fabric art panels. From individual hopes to a collective monument, discover how these panels will transform Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square this July 4th into a living map of our shared future.
