The Quilted Stash by Ralph Jarvis Pdf

As the snow disappears and patches of land are revealed in spring, you might hear someone in Newfoundland and Labrador say: "The land is quilting." But Mother Nature isn't the only one furiously working on the latest craft project. With some of the most changeable weather in the world, legendary gales, and RDF (rain, drizzle, and fog)--as well as an ingrained habit of reusing, repurposing, and innovating with the supplies on hand--it's no surprise that Canada's easternmost province has a long tradition of quilting and quilters. The Quilted Stash features patterns inspired by this history and informed by the wider Newfoundland and Labrador culture and landscape. These 12 original projects by The Quilted Stash use a variety of techniques, including appliqué, piecing, and collage. Patterns include detailed instructions and are designed for a variety of skill levels. Rooted in tradition but drawing on the shapes and forms of modern quilting, these quilts will do more than keep you warm. They can tell a story, compel you to remember an experience, and take you home.

Quilt of Belonging by Esther Bryan Pdf

A cultural milestone. Canada is home to immigrants from every nation in the world. Quilting artist Esther Bryan wanted to celebrate this fact, to promote a sense of greater belonging among these diverse groups. A quilt would be a collaborative, community-based project to celebrate cultural diversity. Each cultural group contributed one 11-inch square pieced into a giant quilt named the Quilt of Belonging. The quilt is approximately 120 feet long by 10 feet high (36 m by 3.5 m). It consists of 263 squares representing 71 Aboriginal groups and 192 immigrant nationalities found in Canada. The quilt includes fabric that has been appliqued, beaded, cross-stitched, embroidered, and hand-woven. The many cultural decorations include: Abalone shells Lithuanian amber Bobbin lace A brooch from Poland English wool Kente cloth from Ghana Porcupine quills, rabbit fur, sealskin, and smoked caribou hide 200-year-old German linen Worry dolls from Guatemala. The Quilt of Belonging will be exhibited in spring 2005 with an opening show at Canada's Museum of Civilization and then will become part of a traveling exhibit of stitches and stories that visits museums and community centers throughout Canada and beyond.
