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 top black marker
- A piece of lined paper
- Writing/idea suggestions
