A few weeks ago we went with some friends to view a truly spectacular quilt; The Quilt of Belonging. I shared with many of you how awed I was by the work that went into this piece of art. It was created to demonstrate the unique diverse makeup of Canada. Quilt blocks were created by Canadians with connections to each nation of the world and the 70 First Nations groups that reside within Canadian Borders. The Quilt was put together and is touring. We were fortunate enough to a nearby town. The Quilt blocks were as diverse as the nations they represent. The materials used were fur, animal skin, butterfly wings, buttons, bone, ribbon, hand made silks, hand dyed, batiked, woven, metal, every color imaginable.
Even a few weeks later the kids have been creating quilts. This picture is one Ben made out of playdough.
