I made this quilt almost a year ago. But it was a secret project, so I haven’t posted any photos until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October 2017, Kim Caskey<\/a> of Edmonton AB asked if I would like to participate in a project called World Wide Whispers.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘World Wide<\/strong>‘ because there are teams from 5 different countries – Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, USA and Canada. Each team had 12 members (except Canada, with 13 members, a representative from each province and territory). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Whispers<\/strong>‘ because it’s a bit like the child’s birthday party game where the leader starts by whispering a sentence in the ear of the next participant and then continues around the room, evolving and changing from the original sentence. For Team Canada, Kim started the process at the beginning of 2018 by making an art quilt inspired by a photo. She sent a photo of her quilt to the next person, who had one month to create a 18″ by 24″ quilt inspired by that photograph. Each team member only saw the photo of the quilt before theirs. We had to keep our quilts confidential (even from the other team members) until the big reveal in early 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2018, I received an email from Karen Henry of Nova Scotia with an image of her quilt “Anchor & Drift”. When I first saw Karen’s quilt, I was immediately struck by the three boats in primary colours of blue, red and yellow. I pixelated her image, to focus on the shapes and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
