COMING TOGETHER – A QUILT FOR HEALING A COLLABORATION BETWEEN SJMQT AND KIDS & ART FOUNDATION

SJMQT and the Kids & Art Foundation celebrate their first collaboration inspired by the historic Gee's Bend Quilts featured in author Tangular A. Irby's children's book Pearl and her Gee's Bend Quilts. The Kids & Art community project, "Coming Together, a Quilt for Healing," spotlights quilt squares created by pediatric cancer patients during an online art workshop lead by artist Caroline Robins and Tangular Irby. Volunteers and donors also contributed quilt squares as part of the community project in support of the Kids & Art mission to bring the healing power of art to children and families confronting childhood cancer.
