Quilting is just one of many outlets for Hopi women to express their creativity that involves cultural concepts and daily life. The Paacavi Inc strives to revive and preserve this unique art form for the Hopi women. The annual Quilt Show in Paacavi Village is one avenue of showcasing the quilter talents and  educating on the art form of quilting, while bringing in revenue for the quilters themselves. The quilters gather to focus on one main idea for a quilt then collaborate and dedicate their time to making this project come alive to exhibit for all to see. This grant funded project serves to support these amazing Hopi quilters to use the highest quality fabric and tools, while holding classes to teach new techniques to enhance the already talented quilters.
The annual Quilt Show is set to take place on March 28th-29th,2014 in Paacavi Village. For more information on this unique project and to learn more you may visit the Paacavi Inc website at: http://paaqaviinc.wordpress.com/.
