## Caption

Colors connect us with our emotions. The color red, prominently featured in many Baltimore album quilts like this block by Mary Evans Ford, brings about a sense of warmth and comfort for many. This is just one example of how our upcoming Self-Care Meditation Series will use the bold colors and imagery of the various quilts in our collection to center our connection and awareness.

By registering for this free series, you’ll receive a guided meditation sent directly to your email inbox every day, May 17 through May 21. The meditations can be practiced on your own time. Click on the Program Calendar in our bio link.
