Southern Oregon Bookmakers Support Vision Quilt

By Cathy DeForest, Vision Quilt Founder

Grassroots movements like the Vision Quilt are supported by many volunteers, many of them working behind-the-scenes to support community transformation. Southern Oregon bookmakers Albie Zajach, Barbara Helfand, Bridget Reynolds, Suzanne Aubin Addicott and Mary Chaplain are an example of such dedication and support. 

By creating beautiful handmade journals, Albie, Barbara, Bridget, Suzanne and Mary provide Vision Quilt participants with a means of reflection and introspection, a place where the youth can document their impressions, thoughts and feelings evoked by the Vision Quilt workshops. The bookmaking team has created journals for our youth in Chicago, at the Lighthouse Charter School in Oakland, and for the incarcerated youth at Camp Sweeney.
