Myla Borden

In the early 1990’s Myla Borden turned to quiltmaking when she was unable to find employment after earning her teaching degree. In 2007 Borden co-founded the Vale Quilters Association- the only Black quilters society in Nova Scotia. In 2007 she also began collaborating with Dartmouth NS artist David Woods using his drawings as designs for her quilts. Her works have been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Atlantic Textile Festival and the Textile Museum of Canada
