Colourful Cancer Society bandannas were at the heart of this exhibition, organised by CanTeen Manawatu, and held at the Globe Theatre, Palmerston North. I walked in the door, paid my gold coin donation, and recognised a lady sitting in a chair stitching. It was club member Barbara, patiently waiting for a friend to join her at the exhibition.
Barbara was sitting stitching
This is the first time such an exhibition has been held, the ladies on the desk told me. The Manawatu team decided to take up the challenge, and organise the competition and exhibition. There were four categories, entries from Primary schools, Secondary schools, and Learning Support. Then quilters and crafters alike got behind the idea and the entries poured in for the Open Section. Over 100 entries were received, and the criteria was to use a recognisable portion of one or more of the colourful Cancer Society’s bandannas.
Many featured butterflies or hearts
Loved the English bus
Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer, so it was good to see all the bright and colourful works of art bring a positive message.
