Sept 2: Art build for PA Climate Convergence (quilt squares!)

Lancaster Against Pipelines community quilt at the Clean Energy Revolution march in 2016

Quilt Build!  The Pennsylvania Climate Convergence is coming up soon, and Maren is hosting another Art Build, focusing on making quilt squares for a big community quilt on the theme of Bearing Witness.  We'll tell our climate stories on these squares, and also remind policymakers that we are watching them -- to make sure that they act swiftly on climate (so eyes will be a recurrent visual theme).  

We can use paint, markers, needle and thread (appliqué, embroidery), or pretty much anything else you can think of! We'll have some supplies on hand, but feel free to bring more (or check in with me about what you might have that I don't). If you'd like to do this on your own or with another group, there are quilt-square deets here -- you can make your own squares and bring them to Maren by Sept 29.  

Last time, we mostly cut up a whole lot of 14" squares -- so they're ready to be embellished!  

4-6 p.m. (so it'll be shady) at Maren's house in Squirrel Hill.  Come join us, for however long works for you!  (It'd be great if you can send word about your plans).  RSVP via email (with "quilt" in the Subject line) if you think you might join us!  I'll send out Directions & Other Info to RSVP'd folks.  Snacks or additional supplies are welcome, but not required.  And let me know if you can't come to this one but might be interested in another date!

And don't forget about the upcoming Sustainability Salon, on Sunday -- and please check out the growing list of other events and petitions and such assembled on that page.  Quite a few things have been added since my first salon mailing over the weekend.  Thanks!
