UD students collaborate on state tapestry for America's 250th celebration
One stitch at a time, students in the University of Delaware's Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies made history by contributing to a project that is part of state, and national, history.
Nearly 30 students volunteered their time and talent to work on the Delaware panel for the America's Tapestry exhibit, part of the country's 250th anniversary. The display will include panels from each of the original 13 colonies, with each piece illustrating lesser-known stories of individual contributions to the Revolutionary War and that colony's fight for independence.
