First Night Community Quilt on display February 24 and
25,
One of the activities that made this year's First Night
celebration a success was the Community Quilt project, designed by quilt artist and
UCSC staff member Pele Fleming. Working at tables just off Pacific Avenue, participants
of all ages took house-shaped quilt pieces and created statements about their concept
of home with paint, fabric, beads, and glitter. The "houses" were then
tied together on the fence next to the work tables. The project was sponsored by
the William James Association. A permanent location for the completed quilt has yet
to be found, according to Fleming, but it will be on display at the Pajaro Valley
Quilt Association's annual quilt show February 24 and 25 at the Watsonville Fairgrounds.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
