During my time as Textile Workshop Manager at The Exchange, I lead this quilting project, with the textile volunteer group of 30+ volunteers. The project explored quilting, with most participants new to the technique but very familiar with textiles. Over a few months, participants engaged in a hands-on learning process—designing, sampling, and creating unique cushions or blankets that would be sold to raise funds for The Exchange.

The project encouraged creativity, skill-sharing, and confidence-building, resulting in a diverse collection of pieces that reflected personal expression and collective learning.
