A COMMUNITY QUILT - READY TO TRAVEL THE WORLD
Posted on August 22, 2023
Here is Biff Heinrich of IMG_INK, in downtown Buffalo. Biff has pulled a full size print of the "Community Quilt" made from pieces of toy guns. The quilt was a long term project involving many volunteers. It began after the mass shooting at the Tops on Jefferson when toy guns were collected in exchange for healthy toys. The guns were broken down (a difficult job that even involved a steam roller) and then transformed by volunteers at the Buffalo Arts Studio. Each square was photographed by KC Kratt and then given to Lenny Lane of F.A.T.H.E.R.S. Now the quilt lives on as a print that can be easily moved around and hung in many locations.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!
