Public Library Quilts is an arts education project by art historian Dr Jess Bailey

Edinburgh | Scotland

Continuing a family tradition, I make quilts for kin & community organisers.

My quilts raise funds for seed grants, mutual aid, and activists embedded in their communities of work.

Using my training as an art historian, I work to preserve socially engaged histories of quilting through research, writing, teaching, & public engagement work.
