In February 2008 Senior Momentum exhibited the first in a proposed series of Memory Quilts at Rosny Library.
There were two components to the project: quilts made with materials chosen by people with varying degrees of memory loss, stitched with the help of their carers, staff and volunteers, and works produced by a group of textile artists on the theme of Memory.
Pieces in this exhibition include quilts by members of Shore Street Day Centre and Alice Elliott Day Club, Day Clubs of Alzheimer’s Australia Tasmania, and works by textile artists.
WORKS BY TEXTILE ARTISTSThe artists participating are:
Aukje Boonstra, Phyllis Sullivan, Jennifer Line, Jill Cartwright, Shirley Johnson, Shirley Gillam and Vanda Jackson(to see their work, select the artist's name or use the "Artists' Textiles" link above)
 QUILTS BY AND FOR PEOPLE WITH MEMORY LOSS
The three small quilts on the left are the beginning of a quilt project to promote an understanding of memory loss and Alzheimer’s Disease. Each small quilt is a patchwork of memories associated with the chosen scraps of fabric.
The large quilt on the right was made by the many members attending Day Clubs in Southern Tasmania run by Alzheimer’s Australia Tasmania
