| Exhibition: | Friendship through Quilting |
| Description: | This quilt was designed and created by a group of women from Derry / Londonderry who met through Mission Hall Quilts while taking part in classes offered by The Calico Project. Learning about the Art of Survival Exhibition motivated them to create a quilt focusing on how friendships have developed through the love and art of quilting.
This exhibition was part of a continuous series of arpillera and quilt exhibitions hosted by the Verbal Arts Centre in Derry and curated by Roberta Bacic, from 2008 to 2013. Each exhibition, comprised of a piece or pieces created by community groups from different parts of the island, other countries, or individual women, was displayed for a number of weeks before being replaced with a new exhibition. |
