QUILT MAKING HAS SUCH A POWERFUL STORYTELLING TRADITION AND DEEP HISTORY IN THE SOUTH, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY

The Quilt is a powerful teaching tool that brings generations together to raise awareness about the ongoing epidemic, and the effect stigma and prejudice continue to have on the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS within communities of color. You do not need to be an artist or know how to sew to create a moving personal tribute. Whether you choose to paint on a bed sheet or sew elaborate embroidery is up to you -- any remembrance is appropriate.

EVERY STITCH SEWN WITH LOVE

Our Call My Name panel making program ensures the stories of Black and Latinx lives lost to HIV/AIDS are honored with panels on the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Through the making and display of panels this powerful program is helping ensure the Quilt reflects the epidemic's impact within marginalized and communities of color.

Help us call the names of these lives lost to HIV/AIDS by making a panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt that honors, celebrates, and remembers their stories.

• Make a Quilt panel
• Organize a panel making workshop
Host the Quilt in your community
• Share the story of a loved one lost

We bring a quilt. It grows day by day and night by night and yet its expanse does not begin to cover our grief nor does its weight outweigh the heaviness within our hearts…  We bring a quilt. We hope it will help people to remember. We hope it will teach our leaders to act.
