Community Quilt Raffle Ticket
〰️〰️〰️ This raffle closed on March 18th, 2022. Together we raised $900 for Cultural Survival. 〰️〰️〰️
The Local Earth Collective has created a unique naturally-dyed patchwork quilt with colors collected from many different landscapes and embroidered with many hands. Many of us have spent the past several years isolated, siloed with the weight of the world's grief as well as personal losses. This quilt is an opportunity to invite healing. We believe that these individual quilt squares can carry the healing that comes from joining with others for a purpose, the healing that comes from intentional and slow handwork, and the healing that comes from creating beauty out of the ordinary natural materials in our lives.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the international Indigenous-led NGO Cultural Survival. Established in 1972, Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous People’s rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures, and resilience. Natural dyeing has gained in popularity recently, but this craft has been informed by the artistic knowledge developed and retained in Indigenous communities. We chose to donate proceeds to Cultural Survival in gratitude for this retained cultural knowledge and in acknowledgment of the grief borne by many of these communities. Furthermore, Indigenous peoples worldwide maintain some of the most biodiverse lands with tremendous courage and skill in the face of global environmental losses. Many people today feel disconnected from their natural environment, and we view this as related to loss of long-term knowledge and stewardship of place. Indigenous communities are key in helping to preserve and repair that relationship.
The quilt measures approximately 32” x 38” and can be displayed as a wall hanging, used as a throw for a chair, or as a blanket for a baby or small child.
Purchase one or more raffle tickets for a chance to win this quilt infused with the colors of many landscapes and the embroidery of many hands. The winner will be chosen at random on Friday March 18th. Purchase multiple tickets for greater odds!
