Whittle Palliative Care Ward and Tasmanian Cancer Council
Dear Wild Stitch Community:
In celebration of Palliative Care Week this May, the team at Whittle Palliative Care Ward in Hobart are transforming the ward into a beautiful textile garden.
Their vision includes vibrant yarn bombing with knitted flowers and leaves, a textile tree adorned with personal messages written on paper leaves and hearts, and a charming nest that children can use as a mailbox.
A pond in the common area will be swimming with aquatic life, while fabric or knitted birds, bugs, and other creatures, are needed for patients and families to hang on their doors to signify when they need some quiet time, or simply to hold for comfort.
We are teaming with the ward to bring this project and life and we need your help!
How you can help:
- Sew or knit birds, bugs, leaves, flowers and aquatic life for the ward
- Create small garden art pieces
- or, Sew, knit or crochet palm sized orange hearts (the colour or Palliative Care Week) to be given to patients and families to keep and hold.
When: We will need all items at Wild Stitch Studio by 1st May
Please let us know if you can help by sending us a message.
