Indian Village Inspired Red Dress Quilt on Display at Bluemont Fair

During last year's (2021) Indian Village, quilt artist Kerry Faraone, received inspiration from the Red Dress installation and designed a new art quilt. The Red Dress represents Missing Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Violence against Native Americans and Alaska Natives far exceed national average.

Kerry submitted her art quilt to several shows including the Sacred Threads Quilts Group in Herndon, Va. Her red dress quilt will be on display at the old stone  Bluemont Methodist Church during this year's (2022) Bluemont Fair. The church address is 33843 Snickersville Turnpike, Bluemont, VA 20135.
