Invitation to the 4th International Block Swap with the motto „Back to Nature“
Building on the great success of past community activities, the online portal Quilt around the World is organizing a new project for all patchwork enthusiasts around the globe:
the 4th International Block Swap, this time on the subject "Back to Nature".
(firmenpresse) - Munich, May 8th, 2017: All quilters are invited, whether beginners, occasional quilters or professional textile artists, who enjoy working together with like-minded people from around the world in a multinational and cross-cultural project and express their creative ideas in a textile patchwork block.
The participants are asked to make nine patchwork blocks according to their individual taste and quilt mastery. The blocks will then be swapped within internationally mixed teams. In order to achieve a great diversity of block designs there are next to no restrictions regarding technique, pattern or colors. The block motif, however, must contain the color green. In the end, every participant will have the makings of a unique nature quilt containing nine different patchwork blocks from nine quilters around the world.
For 2019, an IBS4 Travelling Exhibition is planned featuring selected IBS4 works designed and crafted by the participants.
"We hope that through this project many new international contacts and quilt friendships will be forged and our Quilt-around-the-World-"family" will continue to grow," said Jutta Hufnagel, Managing Director of Quilt around the World GmbH. Participants are therefore asked to also enclose picture postcards with personal greetings and some information about their creative block ideas for their swap partners in their block package.
The participation fee is 25 Euro. 1 Euro per block package will be donated to the international humanitarian organization Doctors without Borders (www.doctorswithoutborders.org) to support their medical work in all countries where the survival of people is endangered by conflicts, epidemics or natural disasters.
The deadline for submitting the finished patchwork blocks is February 28th, 2018.
All participation details for the 4th International Block Swap are now available online on the Quilt around the World website.
