Hashtag life
Leah Higgins May 30, 2019 Leah HIggins,Mask,Revealed Quilts
  My final piece as a member of Cloth in Common is inspired by the masks we all wear in public and specifically the masks we wear on social media. If you are honest with yourself you will acknowledge that we all ‘edit’ the life we present on social media

The masks we all wear
Leah Higgins April 10, 2019 Leah HIggins,Mask,Musings
  We all have multiple roles in our lives and, although we may not consciously do so, we all wear different masks in our different roles. Mother, wife, friend, artist, teacher, citizen. And those are just my major roles, what are yours?    Our ‘masks’ may include wearing specific clothes, moderating

Broken
Leah Higgins March 29, 2019 Disunity,Leah HIggins,Revealed Quilts
  When I set ‘Disunity’ as the prompt for the group I was interested in seeing the response from members of the group living in different countries. I live in the UK where Brexit is threatening to turn us into a ‘disunited kingdom’. I was really saddened that one of

Disunity
Leah Higgins February 1, 2019 Disunity,Leah HIggins,Musings,Prompts
  How often do you hear the phrase ‘we live in interesting times’? It feels like too often. Especially when ‘interesting’ isn’t always what we mean. We live in scary times. We live in unsettling times. We live in sad, desperate times. Whether it is immigrants drowning as they try to

Times New Roman
Leah Higgins January 30, 2019 Leah HIggins,Revealed Quilts,Time
  It doesn’t matter how hard I try, I just can’t make time. It is a finite resource. And one that I continue to abuse – if taking on too much, if over-committing, if thinking I’ll find the time were a crime I would be a serial offender.   A

Flow
Leah Higgins November 27, 2018 Leah HIggins,Revealed Quilts,Water
  When I read the prompt I was in the middle of a protracted fabric dyeing session so my mind went to how much water we use when drying or printing our fabrics, and how much water is used in general to produce cotton fabrics. I also thought about how

How much water?
Leah Higgins November 6, 2018 Leah HIggins,Musings,Water
  I have been doing a lot of dyeing recently and that got me thinking about how much water I use to colour my cloth. Although I’m not on a water meter so don’t pay per litre I do try to ‘do my bit’ when I dye and print but

Night Shadows
Leah Higgins September 28, 2018 Leah HIggins,Night,Revealed Quilts
   I thought I was going to make a piece inspired by Patti Smiths ‘Because the Night’ but Patti (and Bruce Springsteen who wrote the song) were wrong. The night does not belong to lovers. It belongs to our deepest fears; the fears we cannot give voice to during the

Because the night ….
Leah Higgins August 21, 2018 Leah HIggins,Musings,Night
  Some of our earlier prompts have been transformed into cloth within days. Others have inspired nothing for the longest time until a last minute revelation and some frantic stitching have produced a quilt. But this one falls in the middle. There are so many ways that you could interpret

Good Intentions
Leah Higgins July 31, 2018 Leah HIggins,Revealed Quilts,Road
  There is a saying – ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’. And I guess we can all think of times in our history when good intentions, often cited as being for ‘the greater good’ have lead to evil, brutal acts. But the saying is also sometimes

Hope Springs
Leah Higgins May 28, 2018 Leah HIggins,Revealed Quilts,Spring
  My piece embodies what spring means to me. It is the time of year when I yearn to try new things and when I most enjoy printing at my bench, in my studio, with the doors open to my garden. It is the time of year when hope springs.

Cherry Cupcake Baby
Leah Higgins March 28, 2018 Kitchen,Leah HIggins,Revealed Quilts
 A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my response to the prompt ‘Kitchen Inspiration’. The post was called ‘I would rather stitch’ which pretty much sums up my attitude to cooking, or any other type of house work. But my somewhat negative response to the prompt wasn’t just because I
