The Fiber Arts Center Presents Mimi Dietrich-Baltimore Hometown Girl Exhibit. Mimi Dietrich is a Baltimore Hometown Girl, a well-known teacher and author in the quilt world, and a member of The Quilters Hall of Fame. Mimi has been quilting for 50 years. Mimi saw her first Baltimore Album Quilt forty years ago at an exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art and it changed her life! These gorgeous quilts were made in her hometown in the 1850’s and she became obsessed with them! She taught year-long Baltimore Album classes from 1990 until 2024, wrote three books about them, and exhibited her quilts at the Maryland Center for History and Culture in 2019. The quilts in our FACES exhibit are hand appliqued and many of them have wonderful stories stitched with a contemporary thread that connects them to the original historic quilts. This exhibit will be on display from March 19 – May 17. The Fiber Arts Center is open from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm and the exhibit is free of charge.
