On June 7, 2025 we will be in Piazza dei Signori in Vicenza.
With this project we will make 40x40cm crochet, knit, and sewn squares, all in one color, which, sewn together, will form picnic blankets that will then be placed side by side in the square to form a large rainbow flag. Join us in this great and colorful initiative!
