Stitching Stories: Mother's Day Fabric Card Making

Join us for a heartfelt Mother’s Day celebration through a hands-on card-making workshop. Using repurposed fabric, we’ll craft one-of-a-kind cards for your loved ones—infused with warmth, memory, and care. Think of it as a tribute to the memory bear your grandmother may have lovingly stitched for you—each piece carrying a story, each card a keepsake.

This workshop invites participants of all ages to create something personal and meaningful, while also honoring sustainable, creative practices. All materials will be provided, and no experience is needed—just bring your memories and imagination.

This event is part of the Stitching Stories workshop and exhibition series. This is a collaboration between the Heritage Museum of Asian Art and the HerArt Foundation, supported by Healing Illinois.
