The project was originally introduced at last year’s Faîs’sie d’Cidre at Hamptonne Country Life Museum, where visitors were invited to draw pictures of apples that could then be incorporated into the quilt’s design.
Various organisations have been asked to take part in the creation of multiple four-inch squares of calico, supplied free of charge.
Eventually the hundreds of squares will be stitched together by volunteers, and the finished quilt will be displayed at Hamptonne Country Life Museum.
The project is being organised by Julia Coutanche, Jersey Heritage’s Volunteer Co- ordinator, who expressed: “We hope the quilt will involve Islanders of all ages, from primary schoolchildren to residents of care homes for the elderly, and everyone inbetween.”
She added: “The project is open to anyone, whether they are a needlecraft enthusiast or a complete beginner.”
The deadline for the squares to be completed and given to Jersey Heritage is 1 July 2020.
