Community Project Pandemic Story Quilt Return Finished Quilt Square and/or Writing to CAM: Saturday, March 20 by 5 PM Art Kits: $10 each Limit of 3 kits per family/purchase, so that we can hear from many different families in our community about their experiences.
Cameron Art Museum and The Advocacy Project have come together to present the Pandemic Story Quilt Community Project. Create your own story quilt squares that will be sewn together into large quilts by Bobbi Fitzsimmons and local quilters. These will be displayed in an exhibition of Pandemic Story Quilts on display at the Cameron Art Museum this Spring.
How has the pandemic changed your life? The COVID pandemic has affected everyone. The ways in which it has impacted us may depend on where we live, our age, our families, and our health. People around the world have told their stories in pictures and those pictures are being put into quilts. Each quilt has a different perspective.
We would like you to tell your story with fabric and markers. We want to see how the pandemic has affected different people and in what ways. These story squares will be added into quilts to show different perspectives in the Wilmington community. The resulting quilts will be on display at the CAM beginning in April 2021
Your CAM bag includes two pieces of 10”x10” fabric (one to contribute to the Pandemic Story Quilt, and one for you to keep), five colorful permanent markers, one ultra-fine tip black marker, a piece of lined paper, and writing/idea suggestions. Please sketch your design on a separate piece of paper before drawing on your fabric. When you like what you have drawn, transfer your design to the fabric. Leave at least half inch borders on each side of your design. You are welcome to write down your story or poem on the paper provided and return it with your quilt squares. All returned writings will be made into a booklet that will be on display in the exhibition and available on our website. Please only return one square per CAM bag (we have calculated the number of squares needed to create three quilts). Families are more than welcome to work on a square together! Return your finished quilt square (and/or writing) to CAM by Saturday, March 20. If your quilt square has not been returned by this date, it cannot be included into the community quilt. You can return your quilt square to the front desk anytime during regular CAM business hours (Tuesday – Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM, closed Mondays).
