Woodberry residents are set to show that they are one crafty community with the creation of a community patch-work quilt called Art Across the Ages: Things I’ve seen and done.
The residents of Woodberry are being invited to create a quilt ‘square’ out of new and used fabrics to tell a story about their lives. These squares will then be sewn into the final quilt by a talented group of local artists and craftspeople and will end up on display in community halls, libraries and possibly even art galleries in the area.
Nicole Bennett, Community Planning Coordinator for Maitland City Council said, “Thanks to the assistance of a grant from Housing NSW, the crazy quilt project will help to celebrate and acknowledge the wonderful stories and life achievements of the residents in and around Woodberry”.
