Artist Invites Volunteers to Create Quilts for Boston Bombing Victims
(
Shopping-NewsWire.com
, July 11, 2013 ) Sydney, Australia -- Wainwright called the project “Mending Boston”, and since she began the project when she got the idea just days after the bombing, it has turned into a folksy 13x5 foot depiction of the city’s most famous landmarks with a yellow strip representing the marathon’s route this year.
The four corners of the blanket represent the four people who lost their lives with their portraits. Wainwright says she didn’t let anyone put anything negative on the blanket, because it’s supposed to depict Boston after it has mended. Wainwright is famous for founding First Night in 1976 and the Great Boston Kite Festival that began in Franklin Park in 1969. Since the, she says she’s done at least 60 community projects over the years, but this one has the most meaning.
Volunteers can pitch in to the quilt from 2 to 4 p.m. on Mondays at the MIT Museum in Cambridge. While only 18 to 20 people can gather around to work on the quilt at once, Wainwright provides all the needles and thread needed. Quilters pick a color of thread and find a building that needs sewn down and they can add their own designs.
So far, many families of victims and victims themselves have come to put their own touch to the quilt. The mother of Police Officer Richard Donohue, who was shot and killed during an altercation with one of the bombing suspects on April 19, came by to sew on an embroidered MBTA patch in his honor. Another woman came by to put on a green mailbox, which she claims shielded her and her husband during the second blast.
The quilt has been to several places in Massachusetts so far, including Boston Asian, Youth Essential Service, Dorchester Arts Collaborative and several museums throughout the city of Boston. Wainwright says when finished, the quilt will be displayed at Gardner Museum, MIT
Museum, New England Quilt Museum, Boston City Hall and she’s still in talks with Tufts Medical Center to have it displayed there as well.
