Exhibition!

Journals in Picture by the Journal Quilting Group : AFIER

Given the succes of this exhibition last year in Groningen it will be held again between 14 March on the 11th of April 2009 in the museum Het Leids Wevershuis in Leiden.
The exhibition is a collection of quilts which portrey the visualization of journal entries on the scale of A-4 paper.
Another 20 larger quilts will also be displayed.
Apart from the size a journal quilt should visualize something from the creators life that would appear in their personal diary.

The quilts have been made by a group of about 20 quilters using various techniques apart from only needlework.
Beads, paper, tyvek and even rusty nails are just some examples of the materials used.

In the weekends during the exhibition several demonstrations will be given on topics such as fabric printing and punching with the embellisher machine, a method of making felt with a big variety of fabrics. For more details about the group go to:
