Sea Story Quilting Sessions


with Beth Cross

(Sun 28 Sep 12pm, Sun 5 Oct 12pm, Sun 26 Oct 2pm)

Our lives are stitched with stories. Each of us imagines a story in our own unique way. None more so than children. This project by storyteller Beth Cross provides a quiet informal space for stitching into life children's drawings of stories imprinted on a quilt. Come for the chat and stories, add some stitches, no experience or prior skill required. The quilt currently being worked bears drawings that children of Tiree drew from a session of sea stories. The illustrated quilts provide a place for further children to sit for story sessions adding their own contributions to this living ever evolving record of how stories thread through our lives.
