TACKING TOGETHER A NEW QUILT. 2015. Drawing

The Quilting competition is on again. These stitch-in-timers are pursuing their most ambitious project yet. They have decided on encasing found objects of past and present memorabilia. They figured this would take half as long due to the outrageous sizes of some of the pieces. With each racing the other to include what they considered better choices, it became more of a personal interaction than was necessary or reasonable. They were so fast at tacking things into places allotted, that from a distance it looked more like a frenzied attempt at gathering coloured snippets caught in a wild wind. What seemed like a slide into disaster actually produced an interesting and inspiring creation. It reminded them of their many trips into the rolling hills of the country-side. The speed reduced the procrastination and evolved into a freshness and wit not seen before. Someone muttered "thank God" but they didn't care. The results are still pending.
