The act of quilting brings people together, as they craft intricate designs and stitch fabrics together to create something truly special.

Within the exhibition, you will find an exquisite collection of quilts that reflect the collective vision and creativity of the students. Each quilt carries a unique story, portraying different themes related to peace and mindfulness. The use of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and carefully selected fabrics showcases the skill and dedication these young students have poured into their artwork.
