Roy Mitchell Jr. - Photo Q.S.O.S. |
Mitchell, a collector of African American memorabilia, is pictured here with his Watermelun Babies quilt he stitched.
In 2008, the Quilt Alliance's Save Our Stories project interviewed him. It's a fascinating read - including how his father and teenage son now also quilt!
Mitchell teaches a popular course in quiltmaking at the Culpeper (VA) Juvenile Correctional Center - and ensures another generation learns the joy of quilting! Enjoy!

Kyra, thanks for sharing this information. I have never met him. As a Virginia quilter, I love reading about other quilters in our area. I need to make a point of locating him and maybe inviting him to a guild meeting or something. Thanks again,
Robin
nice quilts.
Would love to see his work and visit his class.
