We are working on a 3rd collaborative project now. However, for review, I present the first two projects: Project #1 was lost to Helene and mud, but recovered; project #2 was never recovered.

Project #1. Susette Shiver, Carolyne Morrison, Ceil Jensen, Katya Krenov-Hoke, Paddy Lynch, Rebecca Norris, Tori Masaki, Silk, cotton, felted wool, miscellaneous items.

Project # 2 Tori Masaki, Susette Shiver, Katya Krenov-Hoke, Paddy Lynch, Ceil Jensen, Rebecca Norris, Mary Kelley. Japanese kimono fabrics, sashiko, silk, cotton, Temari balls.

Kathleen Lewis started the next project and we choose a theme from our experiences at Local Cloth of from the Helene hurricane of 2024: before, just after/during, and after.

Kathleen Lewis passed this project beginning to Martha Brandon. cotton, photo-transfer to fabric images.

Kathleen started the project by creating a backround in linen with added photos transferred to fabric and the center in a dark color.

Martha Brandon had to think awhile about what her contribution might be!

Martha Brandon’s contribution centered on the top of the piece: cards from Local Cloth vendors who lost inventory during Helene, thread, weaving.
