Stitching Together Hope
Win This beautiful, machine-pieced, hand quilted Community Quilt
A small team of passionate quilters and community champions have been quietly working on something special for our community. Led by local artists Heather River (Bespoke/Atelier) and Katie Townsend-Merino, they are sewing a quilt named “Common Thread”. Together, they’ve carefully stitched 160 individual blocks - called Flying Geese - representing migration, belonging, and the strength we find in community. Each block contains four geese and each goose is made from three pieces of fabric. That means the team has intentionally sewn more than 1,280 seams to make the geese. The quilt will be finished with big stitch hand quilting. Each piece of fabric in the quilt was donated by our community, making it a true collaboration from start to finish. When it’s complete, this 122 inch by 96 inch quilt will be large enough to wrap around an entire family. Even more importantly, it will help create security, shelter, and hope by raising funds for Sierra Community House.
Later this year we will showcase the quilt around town and the quilt will be raffled off, with every dollar going to Sierra Community House.
