Who
What
During these gatherings we will have an opportunity to sit together while stitching and creating. Each panel will embody an individual grief experience. Designed and personalized to each griever, capturing a grief that is currently present for the griever. This can be accomplished by using fabric from a loved one who has passed, depict a story with embroidery and/or have a specific image applique. The priority of these gatherings are to create accessible community spaces that create space and time for sharing of stories both creatively and through conversation.
Once all of the panels are created we will create a quilt that intentionally stitches everyones stories together into a large comforting quilt. One that will live at Portland Grief House for all visitors to use and admire together. This series is offered at low cost primarily to cover the costs of supplies.
