The "Welcoming Quilt" was commissioned for St. Eithne's primary school, Derry / Londonderry in March 2006 and was completed in one week. It was an interaction project between classes P1-P7. The children explored the school and took photos of their activities and of each other. They then printed and transferred their images to cotton, then cut out and quilted felt letters onto the quilt itself. The letters spell out the school motto: "Today's children, Tomorrow's future."
The quilt was designed and facilitated by Tina Mc Laughlin. The project was funded by the Playhouse in Derry/Londonderry. |
