When an airplane or ship has been in a catastrophe, authorities search for the black box to find out what happened. In this quilt, the black box is a metaphor

for human beings. And no, it’s not entirely black. Often, we are quick to decide what we think about each

other; a closer look often reveals more complexity and differences.

The Black BoxCommercial fabric; raw-edge collaged, machine quilted, hand embroidered;

16 x 16 x 16 inches (41 x 41 x 41 cm)

Bettina Andersen Copenhagen, Denmark

My art quilts are created for the pleasure of experimenting with lines, colors and

forms with striped fabrics. I like to search original designs, playing and contrasting

lines and curves. In the past, striped fabrics had a negative feeling, and this aspect remains in quilting. This was

another reason for me (the first one is that I like stripes) to use them as a challenge.

Twilight and Stripes

Cotton, striped fabrics; machine pieced, machine quilted,

appliquéd and embroidered; 51 x 56 inches (130 x 142 cm)

This work explores the dual nature of the worlds we live between: earth and sky. We belong to the solid ground, which contains the secret forms of seeds. We belong to the sky, the place of breath and cosmic forms,

which generate wind, water and light. The symbolism of this contrasting yet

symbiotic union is expressed in this quilt’s two opposing colors: yellow and blue.

Between Earth and Sky

Silk, dyes, embroidery thread; hand dyed with resists, silkscreen

printed, discharge dyed, hand pieced, embroidered, hand quilted;

32 x 54 inches (81 x 137 cm)

Nancy WhittingtonChapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

I made this quilt to deal with my anxiety about going on a long trip. I thought

longingly about the long flight home, when the plane comes in low over Durban Harbor a few minutes before landing.

I would be able to see the lights of ships, buildings and streets shimmering on the

water. The excitement of that view is almost unbearable. I am nearly home.

Journeys 4: Night FlightCommercial and hand-dyed cotton, silk,

taffeta, brocade, velvet; machine and hand pieced and appliquéd, machine quilted;

This quilt is dedicated to the city of Moyobamba, Peru. The city is known

also as the City of Orchids because of the 3,500 species that grow in its vicinity.

Patty HiebSeattle, Washington, USA

Each person is unique and capable of expressing something which reflects

his/her own individual quality. There is a Creative Spiritual Energy, which flows through us all, and which connects us all I believe that we can use this energy to

create whatever we want to experience in life. My life has been transformed because

of my Creative and Spiritual practice.
