so in the What If Diaries of Jude Hill's Spirit Cloth, we are considering White. and at some point i said in a comment, i don't do white. not White. bone, eggshell, tea softened white, ...but not White. and then i remembered the Daughter Cloth. All her life she wanted me to make her a quilt. thinking that i "sew" so Why didn't i make her a quilt. not distinguishing between sewing and being a quilter. so in the same way i said the other day "I don't do White", i always said, "I don't quilt". That said...she was leaving New Mexico for California. With her Goats. for the most part, these same Goats that i live with now. It's a long story and it's Her story so i can't really tell it. but she went and it didn't work and we brought the Goats back. but before she left, i made her a quilt. i made it Cloth to Cloth way. Jude showed us. It was made of all Thrift Shop recycle. some very very used What Jude identified as good household cloth. torn into strips. woven. the center, was a common pretty thing that Deanna knows the name of. so here are some of the pics of that process that took from February to May, 2011.
this is Jenny, my daughter and her still a puppy Anatolian Shepard, livestock guardian dog, Kadir. he isn't even 6 months old in this pic. the neighbor in California shot him. said he felt threatened.
to weave the strips and attach them to the ground cloth i needed a ladder.
for all the woven part, the stitch i used was invisible baste. less than a 1/4" apart. it held up in the laundromat washer just fine.
and interestingly enough, this morning when looking for these Daughter Cloth pics...lo and behold, this. the one and the same little woven cloth that Jude made in class.
the little goat in the center from Jude's Patchwork Beasts workshop
finished. ready to Just Go.
