Roscrea Library is delighted to host a beautiful exhibition of a collaborative appliqué quilt created by the QQI level 4 Design part-time learners at Roscrea Education Centre.  Each participant was invited to explore the concept of “home” through fabric and stitch, crafting an individual piece that represents a personal space of comfort, belonging or significance.

This quilt is not just a collection of sewn fabric: it is a collective expression of identity, memory and place.  Each appliqué square tells a unique story, yet when stitched together, they form a larger narrative of shared experiences and community.  The process of creating this piece reflects on the intertwining of personal histories identities, and the sense of home that unites us all.

As an artwork, Threads of Home is an exploration of how we define ourselves through the spaces we inhabit and the connections we forge with others.  It stands as a tribute to the strengths of women’s voices and the power of creative expression.

This fabulous collection will be on display in Roscrea Library until 1^st May 2025
