This is the idea.

 

We all make squares measuring 9x9in (22,9cm x 22,9cm) for the quilt.

 

The only rules are:

-       the size: 9x9in (22,9cm x 22,9cm)

-       leave about 0.4in(1cm) seam allowance (room to sow the pieces together).

-       It should be able to be washed it in the washing machine.

 

Ideas:

-       tiny stories written/stitched etc. on fabric

-       tiny story illustrations

-       hitrecord images

-       recording devices

-       draw with markers that are permanent on fabric

-       Make a stencil to use in some way or another

-       Do something with textile paint

-       Knit/crochet/cross stitch a square (make sure it’s the right size after being washed too)

-       Make a square using a mix of the above materials

-       Sow on fabric, buttons, beads, yarn…

-       Collaborate on a square at a show (librarygirl6 will try to bring fabric when she goes)

-       Etc

 

Then once you have made the square(s) you take a picture and post it here.

Remember to contribute it to this collaboration.

Then you send an email to hitrecordkat@gmail.com or cam4hitrecord@gmail.com and we will let you know where to send it.

 

Depending on how many squares you make we’ll make 1 or more quilts!

 

 

 

Now we need to decide on what to do with the quilt once it’s/there’re done!

 

These are some of the ideas so far:

-       We keep it ;o)

-       We get it to Joe somehow…

-       We choose someone who gets to keep it

-       We make a list and send the quilt to each other (we get to keep it for a month).

 

How this idea came about:

My initial idea: “Someone” should make a tiny stories quilt…

I then tweeted with Ryan Patrick and librarygirl6 about it.

Then we talked about it on tinychat one evening/morning.

And then librarygirl6 jumped on board to help out with putting it all together.
