Sewing Stories with Seniors will combine the initiatives of the Aging Creatively program of UAB Institute for Arts in Medicine and Bib & Tucker Sew-Op to lead quilting sessions in an independent living facility and throughout UAB hospital. These sessions will work to build community and purpose among individuals susceptible to isolation and loneliness. The end result, two original quilts, will be inspired by personal stories and memories shared in the quilting sessions.
