#2IQ

Many of the quilts we've seen in archive collections in the UK have very little, if any information about their makers. Especially love the very beautiful back of this one from @helstonmuseum and have spent a lot of time imagining the life of it's maker, the careful choices they made, how long it might have taken to make, who it kept warm #quilt #makerunknown #2iq #fabricstories #accidentaldocumentaries
We never miss an opportunity to sew things together. Waiting to talk on a panel for @newlynexchange this morning, we caught up with 317 little stitches. #patchwork #repair #itinerant #2iq #joannamartine #lenkaclayton #2iq

We're set up at the wonderful #craftschool show today @newlynexchange last stop before the itinerant quilters go their separate ways again. #2iq #collaboration @lenkaclaytonstudio @joannamartine #repair #visiblemending #handmade # craft #itinerant
Thank you @twoitinerantquilters this shirt was a gift and I guiltily never liked it much (just too white, I think) but with your patch I'm rather proud of it now. Repost @blaircurator

Extremely complex numbering system for keeping track of people's clothes and stories. #2iq #number #generaluse #stripes #fabricstories #documentary #quilt
A perfect hand-sewn quilt with double seams from a box marked "unfinished quilt" found in @helstonmuseum archives. We'll be at the museum tomorrow from 10-4 cutting diamonds out of people's clothes, please come. Last chance!
