Event Details
Christine (Laws) Anderson, a Fiji XXI RPCV, has offered to coordinate a group effort to create a quilt that may be offered as a raffle prize or donated to the Peace Corps office in Fiji. Chris organized similar projects for PC Fiji reunions and special occasions in the past.
You can be part of this project to celebrate 50 years of Peace Corps in Fiji. You would stitch a 9 inch design centered on brown cotton 14 inch fabric you have pre-washed as a background square. Any technique of embroidery, appliqué, stenciling using permanent waterproof ink or fabric pain is encouraged. Include your full name and years of service, along with Group #, positioned 3 inches from raw edges of that 14 inch fabric square. You might choose to honor your host family or local colleague of your volunteer assignment or feature a remembrance of a sulu ni kana or the Hindi names of speices used in your last tin fish curry with baigan or bhindi. I also think that an allamanda flower would be nice, so if your sulu has this pattern, let me know so we can trim and stitch it on.
Technical Requirements:
1. Submit finished block by 2/28/18 to organizer Christine (Laws) Anderson, 3327 Scott Street, San Francisco, CA 94123-2013
2. 14 inch brown pre-washed cotton square decorated with 9 inch design centered as well as your full name & years of service (and your Fiji Group# if known). This can be written using Pigma® Micron® archival waterproof black ink pen manufactured by Sakura, or use black cotton embroidery floss which is colorfast.
3. Staple or pin paper with your contact info (name, home address with zip code, email) so we can send you a jpg. photo of the finished quilt.
4. Donation of $10 or more, payable to Friends of Fiji
