All About Re-Thread at
The Shed
Re-Thread @ the Shed is a community fundraiser by two Chicagoland organizations that are connected by their shared commitment to creative reuse, skill sharing, and textile arts & crafts. The goal of the Re-Thread Bee is to bring together The WasteShed and CTC’s creative communities to celebrate and raise money to continue doing the work we do!
We quilted the squares from this project together at the Re-Thread Bee on November 16th, 2025 at The WasteShed Chicago!
The Chicago Textile Center is a hub for learning, resource sharing, community development, and creative reuse, while honoring the traditions and history of textiles in the Chicagoland area.
