Dreaming The Earth, A Fiber Arts Exhibit

The Off-kilter Quilters, a small group of quilters who are members of the 

Pajaro Valley Quilt Association, created a group of quilts which they 

exhibited from Nov 1-9, 2008 at the University of California, Santa Cruz  

Arboretum.  

The pieces in the show were inspired by creation stories from 

the indigenous peoples of Australia to honor the Arboretum's Australian 

garden.  Most of the stories upon which they based their quilts were drawn

from a collection of Australian Aborigonal folklore by K. Langloh Parker 

(Australian Legentary Tales, 1997) available online (http://www.sacred-

texts/aus/alt/index.htm)  Abbreviated versions of these stories may be found next to the photographs of each of the quilts.
