133 Stitching the Future: The Quilt Collection at TMU Pencils scratch, measuring tapes extend, magnifiers hover, and camera lenses focus. Quilts lie open on tables, seams pressed flat, corners aligned, motifs repeated with care. Interns trace each thread in photographs, translating fabric into sketches, diagrams, and records. Working alongside Canadian institutions such as the Royal Ontario Museum and Royal Alberta Museum, the Centre weaves together a shared framework for research and engagement. The quilts speak collectively, once more, carrying the wartime insistence that “Need Is Urgent” into enduring forms of public memory and scholarly study. “John Fisher School Students Aid the Fund.” The Toronto Star, 23 December 1941, p. 29.
