QUILT OF BELONGING

Yesterday, I went to Glenbow Museum to see the Quilt of Belonging. I had heard of this 120 foot long and eleven foot high quilt but was not prepared for the amazing work that I saw. It features 263 blocks of fabric that represent every country in the world and each of Canada's first peoples. Each block was stitched in Canada, by a Canadian about another country in the world that they have a connection with.
If you haven't seen it, Go! Go Now! Turn off your computer, Put your knitting down ( unless you want to knit on the bus downtown) and Go! It's only here until September 30 so you must go now! You won't regret it!
