About Posted Stitches
What Is Posted Stitches?
Posted Stitches is a collaborative, fiber art challenge featuring a series of 10″x10″ art quilts by Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood and Beverley Laing. Each month they exchange fabric and notions via snail mail and create a quilt using as many of the supplies received as possible to create pieces to satisfy the month’s design theme.
Jennifer and Bev committed to this ambitious art challenge without ever meeting in person. First they became pen pals via an exchange Jennifer organized through her CraftSanity podcast. Jennifer enjoyed Bev’s numerous drawings that filled the margins of her letters and decided to she’d be the perfect artist pal to take on a challenge like this. So when Jennifer happened upon this great site featuring two friends doing a similar monthly challenge, she quickly pitched the idea to Bev in an e-mail dated April 25, 2008.
To Jennifer’s delight Bev happily accepted the challenge and a flurry of e-mail was exchanged between the women who agreed to kick things off in June 2008. The goal is to keep the project going for at least one year.
Now there is a website so you can all go and have a pog, as well as links to Bev's blog which is full to the brim and overflowing with insipiration that she found on her travels.
Even if your not crafty, it all looks very beautiful and a great way to brighten up a grey Autumn afternoon.
