A Hopi Quilt Show
Hopi Quilt 1

The Smoki Museum of American Indian Art and Culture is proud to present “Common Threads”, an exhibition of Hopi quilts that reaches far beyond the Mesas. This exhibit will bring together over fifteen quilts, displaying the wonderful playfulness and diversity found within the Hopi quilting community. Somewhat unknown outside of the villages, quilting has a rich history and allows a less restricted view into the Hopi family life. These quilts range from very specific traditional symbolism to imagery as recognizable as animals and pop culture icons
