Filipino language students in Queensland

Students who attend the Filipino Language lessons of the Filipino-Australian Teachers Associations of Queensland show their talents in this Philippine Symbols on Quilt artwork.

The children drew and imprinted their artwork onto the fabric which was sewn into a collage by Erlinda Jacob. The quilt is now on display in FATAQ’s premises where functions on Filipino schools are held.
