Photos from the St Peter's Love Quilt Exhibition

The St Peter's Love Quilt Exhibition at Fish Hoek Civic Center 12 -13 January, 2013

In the photograph above, Gretchen Ginnerty, the co-ordinator of the project speaks about the making of the exhibited quilts.  The quilts are gifts,  bearing messages of love from American children to South African children orphaned through the Aids pandemic.   The quilts are designed using a modified Log Cabin pattern.  The design has a central square in each block and within each quilt twenty hand-drawn children's squares make up the integral design.  Light and dark strips of fabric are used to symbolise the counterbalance of life: sad times / happy times, hardship /bountiful with the central square representing a core of universal love.
