Threads of Connection quilt workshops


A community quilt art project will continue with four workshops in the Library and in Kilcullen Heritage Centre over the coming weekend. There have already been two workshops in the Threads of Connection series, all standalone and free to attend. 
Participants are each producing a quilt square using nature-based techniques, including natural dyeing and block printing, stitching, plant impressions, and fabric collage. The squares will reflect the maker’s memories, inspirations, and connections with nature. Once completed, the squares will be sewn into a large community quilt for public display during First Fortnight 2026 – Ireland’s annual arts and mental health festival. The quilt will mirror Kilcullen’s community spirit and creativity, stitched together through shared experience and care.
Threads of Connection is delivered by DĂșlra Cill Dara and is funded by Kildare County Council Arts Service under the First Fortnight Award 2025.

Fri 24 Oct | 10:00 – 11:45 – Kilcullen Town Hall & Heritage Centre
