JUNE 2008: Self-Portrait

Two strangers, we’ve spoken once and emailed a few times: who are we? The first portraits are our introduction to each other and our first experiments in arty quilting.

JULY 2008: “There’s no place like home”

On the road, travelling around the world – or juggling kids, work and family life. What does home mean to us at this very moment?

AUGUST 2008: Dreams

The dreams of the sleeping night-time, dreams of the future, visions and daydreams. Which will it be?

SEPTEMBER 2008: “Balance”

The challenge is beginning to take hold, as we attempt to finish each month’s quilt amidst many conflicting demands. How do you find balance? What does it mean?

OCTOBER and NOVEMBER 2008: “Myths and Legends”

Stories and legends, tall tales, heroes, and… the fables we fall for, for a while.

For this quilt, we allowed ourselves to choose any fabric already present in our stash. Unbelievably, that made it so much harder that we had to take an extra month….

DECEMBER 2008: “Protest”

War and destruction, greed and power. A small quilt with a big protest voice. What do you want to shout about?

JANUARY 2009 (tweet.)

“Neither Here nor There”

The parcels of goodies will all have had another life. Fabric from a shirt, buttons from an old dress; inherited notions and scraps with a story all ready to tell. What will we make of re-made materials and a nebulous theme?
