Two Towns, One Quilt, Many Stories
A pilot project sponsored by Common Thread Quilts.
Part of the CTQ Community Quilting Program and Quilt Fest 2023 Stitched Stories: Quilts That Speak
Background...
As part of Quilt Fest 2023 Stitched Stories: Quilts that Speak, this pilot project is the first phase of a broad based multi-year oral storytelling project that collects and organizes audio stories and related photographs about the Clifton-Fine area. Community members--year round, seasonal, young, and old--are encouraged to share stories about the area, and what makes it special to them. The program promotes the rich social and cultural history of the area, strengthens a sense of shared community among area residents, and connects the next generation to the place they call home.
Mission...
-
Preserve and circulate local audio stories and photos, past and present, in an easily accessible online format,
-
Promote a sense of place by documenting what is special about the area,
-
Strengthen area communities through the sharing of their stories, and
-
Encourage younger generations to become engaged community members.
