I thought it would be a good time for a recap of what this group is about. We take turns proposing a theme for each of our quilts. We have overall themes for each approximately two year round of work. Beginning in 2017, all of our themes were UNUSUAL. If you look at the galleries for Round one, you’ll find work on the following topics:
Sound
Touch
Lyrics
Kitchen
Spring
Road
Night
Water
Time
Disunity
Mask
During Round two, we chose COMMUNITY as our overarching theme. The specific prompts included:
Identity
Reflection
International
Ecosystems
Neighborhood
Cooperation
Greenspaces
Media
Isolation
Compromise
Shame
Doorways
Wow, we’ve been busy! And now we are in Round three, with an overall theme of STRUCTURE. So far, we’ve explored:
Faces
Lost World
Anatomy
Building
Light
and currently, we are working with the structure of cells.
Human cells are building blocks. They come in all shapes and sizes, and they provide structure as well as many other services to our bodies. Our cells receive energy through respiration.
Our hereditary material is found in our cells. These powerful though microscopic miracles can make copies of themselves. We have trillions of them in our body. It’s all so amazing.
A cell could also be a very small room, or a honeycomb compartment. It could be a small group of people. So many possibilities.
I’m well on my way to finishing my cell quilt. I don’t have time to count all the pieces in it, but it seems like at least billions.
このグループが何であるかを要約するのに良い時期だと思いました。私たちは交代で各キルトのテーマを提案します。約2年間の作業ごとに全体的なテーマがあります。 2017年以降、私たちのテーマはすべて珍しいものでした。ラウンドワンのギャラリーを見ると、次のトピックに関する作業が見つかります。 音 触る 歌詞 台所 バネ 道 夜 水 時間 不一致 マスク 第2ラウンドでは、包括的なテーマとしてCOMMUNITYを選択しました。含まれる特定のプロンプト: 身元 反射 国際的 生態系 近所 協力 緑地 メディア 隔離 妥協 恥 出入り口 うわー、忙しい!そして今、私たちはSTRUCTUREをテーマにしたラウンド3に入っています。これまでのところ、次のことを検討してきました。 顔 失われた世界 解剖学 建物 光 そして現在、私たちは細胞の構造に取り組んでいます。 人間の細胞は構成要素です。それらはすべての形とサイズで提供され、私たちの体に構造や他の多くのサービスを提供します。私たちの細胞は呼吸を通してエネルギーを受け取ります。 私たちの遺伝物質は私たちの細胞にあります。これらの強力でありながら微視的な奇跡は、自分自身のコピーを作ることができます。私たちの体には何兆ものそれらがあります。それはすべてとても素晴らしいです。 セルは、非常に小さな部屋、またはハニカムコンパートメントの場合もあります。それは小さなグループの人々かもしれません。非常に多くの可能性。 セルキルトの仕上げに向けて順調に進んでいます。その中のすべてのピースを数える時間はありませんが、少なくとも数十億のようです。
Thank you. I didn’t know about this series of themes. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s made, and creating some too. Is there more information? It’s time to participate more.
Hi Robbin,
The best way is to follow our blog. Then you can stay informed about what our themes are, and you’re welcome to play along if you wish. When the new theme comes out, we have two months to make the quilt. Our next theme will be announced on June 1st.
Where is the link to the blog please?
Nice to see the recap.
It’s good to look back occasionally. Thank you for chronicling it all for us on the website!
It must be a wonderful group to belong to!
Thank you, Jan. It is a joy to work alongside each of the artist members and get a peek into how they think and create.
Beautiful reminder of who we are and what we do! We are all busy working , soon sharing the paths that cells will perhaps consider taking as we work on 3-6 CELLS.I am so keen to see your work! Fascinating!
I completed a major step yesterday and will work on trimming and binding in the next few days. I’m excited about this one. The reveals are always like Christmas morning to me!
Wonderful group, great quilts, I love the theme’s wide variety of interpretations
Thank you Kat. Isn’t it fascinating to see what each artist comes up with?
