We want all voices to be heard, including yours!

Each time I made a postcard, sitting around the table with others, I felt as though I was stitching my life back together. Those tables are like quilting bees to me. They’re a place to sit and quietly reflect on life, share bits that are important, and listen to others share their lives. It’s intimate. The vulnerability to share our secrets, our wounds, our strengths is intimate, and intimacy builds community and strength. Each time I sit down with you at the table I am sharing a bit of myself, validating my experiences, and healing tiny pieces of my heart and soul. Being abused killed me piece by piece, bit by bit, tiny bits falling away from my strong self, seemingly lost forever, but we can heal and you showed me one beautiful way to that healing-Janis McKinstry
