America’s Tapestry: 13 Colonies. 13 Stories. 1 Nation.

June 19, 2026 — September 20, 2026
Muscarelle Museum of Art

Featuring 13 hand-embroidered panels, one for each of the original colonies, America’s Tapestry illustrates the diverse stories of individual contributions — many overlooked — that reveal each colony’s struggle for independence. Collaboratively stitched by artisans from New Hampshire to Georgia, the panels weave together stories from our nation’s founding through the medium of embroidery to commemorate our country’s 250th anniversary. The project was developed and curated by Stefan Romero. The Virginia panel is being stitched at the Muscarelle by members of the Williamsburg Rose and Thistle Chapter of the Embroidery Guild of America, along with community volunteers, under the direction of Catherine Theron.

Guided by William & Mary’s Office of Strategic Cultural Partnerships, this exhibition is supported by a grant from the Coby Foundation during The Year of Civic Leadership at William & Mary and the nationwide America250 celebration.
