Stitching Stories
5 days have gone by and we have stitched and talked and sang songs and discovered each other in wondrous ways, because we worked with our hearts and our hands. I am convinced that stitching brings out the best in us as people and that is coming together in the collaborative quilt. We got everyone […]

Stitching Stories
I have long imagined a group that stitches stories, collectively and independently in a caring creative environment. We made our first step towards that exact space today.

Eleanor Viegas’ Visit and the Ubuntu Program Workshop

Being involved with community projects she was quick to appreciate the patchwork that the Needlecrafters group […]
