Vintage Revisited….
A block challenge exhibit
Throughout our
history, a woman’s work has never been completely done. As a result,
many quilting projects have been left in various stages of
completion.
What
would happen if a set of blocks was divided among a number of quilt
artists and each was left to create a quilt in her own unique style?
In the spring of 2006, quilters of all backgrounds were invited to
participate in just such a challenge. As a result, we have a group
of 19 talented women who have committed themselves to this exciting
two-year project. The group includes art quilters, traditionalists,
historians and relative newcomers to this quilting journey.
Over
the course of the next two years, six sets of vintage blocks will be
distributed to these brave artists. The block is theirs to play
with! They can add to it, cut it up, embellish it, recreate it,
improve upon it and more. The only requirement is that the finished
quilt measure 24” x 24” and that the original block be included in
the final project. In all, there will be a total of 120 quilts.
The
quilt sets will be available for exhibit and we are currently
booking dates for 2007 – 2014.
Please contact Mary for the traveling schedule.
