More about this project
A cross-community group took part in two strands: an 18-week happy quilting project and a 10-week digital skills course.
All sessions took place in-person at the Donegal family resource centre.
Learners
created quilt pieces that reflecting their lives,
recorded their work,
framed personal pieces, and
improved basic computer skills.
A coppercraft activity day allowed learners to research, print, and frame personal designs.
“I was so delighted I took part in the quilting project and the coppercraft... very hesitant to begin with but so delighted and will be returning in the new year.” — quote from a learner
