BILL STEARMAN quilts
Out to change the world
one quilt at a time

Partial funding for the Queer Elders Project was provided by a generous grant from the LGBT Purge Fund.

Meet Deanna Gaudaur!

For over twelve years, this woman has been my quilter!!


Deanna Gaudaur has been turning my ’sow’s ears’ into ‘silk purses’ for almost 11 years now. Her skills in hand-guided free motion quilting know no limits.

She listens, asks questions, and then does the job. Beautifully!

I absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

A grant from the Government of Ontario through the Multi and Inter-arts Stream of the Ontario Arts Council made it possible to hire other Ontario artists with a variety of different skill sets to assist with the Queer Elders Project.

QUILTIVISM ... social activism through quilt making




I Can't Keep Quiet. For Anyone. Not Any More'

60" x 60"

2022


Listening to Milk sing her song 'Quiet' with Choir Choir Choir I burst into tears as I was flooded with the memory of my own sexual assault as an 11 year old. 

The song helped me forgive. 

But I will never forget.


This is the first time I added a video link using a QR Code.
