Canadian and African Grandmothers developed the design; more than 300 grandmothers crafted and contributed pieces to this unique quilt; and, 25 Grandmothers Groups in seven provinces across Canada sewed the quilt in a cross-country quilting bee. The quilting bee started in Regina with members of Grandmothers 4 Grandmothers Regina, and we are pleased to host the first stop of the cross-Canada quilt show, with more than 35 stops in all ten provinces! “Grandmothers are the very fabric of communities and families. They weave the values of human rights, justice, feminism and anti-racism into this one-of-a kind solidarity movement – The GRANDMOTHERS TO GRANDMOTHERS CAMPAIGN. And now, we mark 20 years of sisterhood, solidarity and care.” ~ Stephen Lewis Foundation
