The Quilt of Belonging
Normally I try and not post about quilts too much, after all, we’ve got a wonderful quilt blogger - Mary Emma, over at Quilting & Patchwork, but I had to share this with you all:
That photo is of the “Quilt of Belonging”, a massive tapestry measuring 120 feet long and 10 feet high! It was created to celebrate diversity among the different peoples of Canada, and is currently on tour.
Unfortunately - it’s not coming to my home town!
