QUILTS OF UNDERSTANDING

CELEBRATING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Quilts of Understanding - Celebrating Community Connections is an initiative of the Wellington Shire Planning Group for the International Day of People with a DisAbility for 2002. This Celebration of Ability takes place every year on 3 December. 450 calico squares were sent out to groups throughout the community, with a request to decorate them in any way - quilting, applique, painting, collage - the lot!

In all 331 squares were made into 14 quilts at the CWA-SNAP Craft Co-operative in Sale.

The Quilts will be on display next

Uniting Church Hall, Stratford
10am to 2.30 pm Sunday 4th May
for the CWA Exhibition at the Shakespeare Festival

Maffra Art Space
10am to 3pm 8th and 9th May

We wish we could show them all, but there are sooooooo many it is not possible.
But if you are looking for your own square, you will be able to see it in the quilts.

A Schedule of Exhibition Dates is being arranged for the coming year. To suggest possible dates and venues, contact Frances Ford, phone 5142 3464 at Wellington Shire.
