What this episode covers
Little did Sarah Bond know in 1979, when she started making her first quilt, that she was sitting on top of a gold mine of strikingly rare quilts. My guest Sarah Bond does not hide the explosion of emotions she had when she discovered the treasure chest of quilts in the basement of her house. It was a magic moment, and her desire to trace the history and story of those quilts connected the invisible threads of time and the artistic revelation that happened in her family during the dark times of slavery. The “Threads Across Time” episode with Sarah Bond travels through time to more than a century ago and brings back a legacy of Quilt art by her enslaved ancestors. The fact that Sarah Bond still preserves those quilts portrays that they were not created just for utilitarian purposes. They were a product of love and expression. As she says, “Those quilts are the physical manifestation of their struggle and victory".
