#AbilmenteVicenza24
If your passion is patchwork, you absolutely can't miss Abilmente Vicenza and all the patchwork associations that participate!
ASSOCIAZIONE AD MAIORA
The AD MAIORA Association is made up of around a hundred members who, with passion and creativity, carry forward a cultural message of eco-sustainability and social solidarity through group efforts. "Together we can!" This is the motto of the AD MAIORA Cultural Association, which, for over 20 years, has been promoting craftsmanship and creativity through education and training in textile art and patchwork techniques. In the footsteps of female arts, experiencing a rediscovery that blends with present-day themes, AD MAIORA promotes cultural and educational events, using its own financial resources.
The Association has been involved in significant social activities in various fields: welcoming and inclusion, well-being and care for the sick, raising awareness against violence towards women, supporting and assisting developing countries, social redemption, cultural activities, and the social world.
Since 2011, the Association has been organizing Verona Tessile, a biennial event that has become a reference point for patchwork, sewing, fabric, and textile art enthusiasts.
ASSOCIAZIONE CASA PATCHWORK E QUILTING
The group of friends from the "Casa Patchwork & Quilting" Association in Bassano del Grappa meets every week to assemble patchwork tiles using various techniques with needle and thread. They use both classic traditional patterns and contemporary variations, which they later combine into quilts, making them unique and original thanks to the variety of fabrics used.
Quilts tell a lot about us: memories, fragments of travel, and personal experiences, each one deciding to give voice to them through fabrics! During Abilmente, we will be holding workshops on patchwork applications to introduce people to this hobby that is good for the heart and mind.
ASSOCIAZIONE DODI QUILT
The group is actively engaged in promoting and disseminating female handiwork, particularly the patchwork sewing technique, within the local community.
The Association collaborates with various entities in the area, particularly with the neonatology department of San Bortolo Hospital in Vicenza, to donate blankets and small recreational items for hospitalized children. With the support of the Municipality of Vicenza, they also organize an annual exhibition to spread awareness of patchwork in the region.
For several years, they have been participating in Abilmente alongside other Venetian Associations, showcasing the works of their members and organizing courses aimed at introducing people to this technique.
ASSOCIAZIONE PASSIONE PATCHWORK
The "Passione Patchwork" Association in Padua brings together a group of women passionate about patchwork quilting and needlework, creating both classic and contemporary handicrafts. These techniques serve as unifying elements, promoting sharing, and mutual growth.
The strengths of the Association lie in the diverse skills of its members, which in the last two years have been showcased through online teaching of techniques such as embroidery, knitting, crocheting, cartonnage, and creating home decor items.

EMOZIONI IN PATCHWORK
Marta Anzolla
I am a holistic therapist and textile artist. I guide people through fabric, colors, emotions, and materials to connect with their inner feelings, helping them find the freedom of expression that brings well-being and harmony.
I have developed a unique method by creating unconventional Patchwork courses, intertwining my experience as a therapist with patchwork techniques. My aim is to communicate to people the importance of choosing fabric or color and the emotions that can be conveyed while sewing their own quilt.
