The newest piece of art to grace the walls of the SCPS Reference room has arrived. There is now a large quilt comprised of mandalas drawn by the class of 2012. These mandalas have been screened onto fabric by The Graphic Jam of Wellfleet and quilted into a colorful block of Sturgis pride. The designs range from abstract to dinosaurs to stars and hearts. Of course the quilt would not hang in the Reference room now if it weren't for the generous grant from SPA who paid for the quilt to be framed, and of course, a large thank you goes out to Marjon Framing, Hyannis who was actually able to frame our undertaking. Both businesses have been very supportive of Sturgis activities and we are grateful for their expertise and help.

Creating this quilt was a CAS project for Madeline Arnault and Sophia Mitrokostas. We would like to give a shout out to Diane Klaiber who was our tireless advisor and from whom the idea for the quilt originated. The Mandala Quilt will be officially presented on April 12th at the Senior CAS Night.
