Here are some images of new works in progress. The projects I have been focused on have branched out in different directions. This is pretty typical I guess. I have also found myself on a sewing and fiber arts kick. My interest in mapping has lead me to start collecting and using shapes from maps to develop sewing patterns.
I have also started collecting fabric scraps from my neighbors. The weather has been pretty rainy but I managed to start going door-to-door, meeting people and telling them about my project. I am asking for old worn out clothing, blankets, and really anything that might be thrown away in the near future. I plan on building a better, more visually attractive drop-box, but for now I made this for neighbors to drop off their donations.
Also, I am interested in learning more about the history of quilt-making. I started reading about the uses of quilts in different cultures, as well as the importance of the actual event of coming together to sew and stitch quilts, particularly for women. At some point I would like to attend and possibly even organize a quilting event. More about this soon...
