 Special Guest: Melissa De Leon Mason/Quilt All The Things! (presenting via zoom)

️ Topic: Appropriation or Appreciation

Cultural appropriation in quilting. What is it and how do we recognize it? In this presentation, Melissa will walk students through a detailed explanation about how to think about culture in design, best uses, how to appreciate and be inspired responsibly and how to build a quilt community that is more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive.


About Our Guest Speaker: 

Melissa is increasingly inspired by the colors and experiences of growing up Latina in the borderlands. She loves color, movement, and maximalism.

Melissa’s quilts have hung at the National Quilt Museum, International Quilt Market, and QuiltCon, and have been featured in numerous quilting publications, including Make Modern Magazine, Simply Moderne, and Curated Quilts. She has taught workshops and given lectures to guilds all over the country.

Melissa is a therapist specializing in sex and relationships and has lived all over the world with her husband and four kids and currently calls Logan, Utah home.
