I saw a news story about a 'street' quilt. A painted quilt in the streets of Montclair NJ. that High School freshman Haley Winstead created. She had the idea to do this as a community building art project for her Girl Scout Silver Award project. I'm delighted to have the Program Coordinator, Laura Torchio, with me from the 'Eat. Play. Live Better' to tell me how this all came about!
