Celebrating Elders: A Quilt Exhibit sponsored by Franklin County Home Care Corp. (FCHCC)
April 11-May 3, 2010
Four locations in Franklin County & the North Quabbin area of Massachusetts
Franklin County Home Care Corp. invites all interested quilters and fabric artists to create a fabric wall hanging on the theme of "Celebrating Elders:" their independence, wisdom, warmth, experience, knowledge... Celebrate a neighbor, friend, family member, maybe an ancestor that you’ve never known. Celebrate the spirit of elders. Is there a particular memory of a particular senior that stays with you? Share what this theme means to you! All levels of experience are welcome!
