Avondale Library
The Riley Center has been a part of Birmingham community making for over 120 years. Executive Director and instructor Theresa McGhee Johnson brought the quilting initiative to the center in the 90's and continues to involved over 25 quilters from all walks of life who gather weekly to share the tradition of quilting. Each quilt teaches us the history and personhood of another Birmingham resident.
