Final Project
QUILTS OF UNITY (SU-CASA RESIDENCY)
Bronx Council on the Arts
A month ago I wrapped up what I would like to call one of the most amazing arts residencies out there, SU-CASA. I was stationed at the coolest senior center in the Bronx, Neighborhood Shopp. There, I met some of the most awesome and talented ladies I have ever met in my entire life. Just take a look at their wonderful memory quilt. I couldn't of asked for a better group of women to work with.

Close up of final project
Residents sorted through their longtime family memories to create quilt patches that represented the love they have for their friends and family.

The process of designing the quilt
Over 30 quilt patches were woven in a matter of months to create one unified quilt representing themselves as a community.
