Story
Patchwork Pals is an informal group of five older women linked by a connection that they all worked together at a Further Education College. We come together regularly in each other’s homes to discuss, crafting and art; projects we are working on; to share ideas; and collaborate. We admire and touch each other’s art works and creations. We have a What’s App group where we share inspiring images and details for exhibitions for PP trips. The patchwork is made from a scrap of textile contributed from each woman including vintage scraps from our teenage years! The image is a swirl to represent interconnectedness. I have embroidered words that we considered represented PP. I imagine the words as a Wordle or word cloud of our creative energies. Conversations at PP gatherings are often animated and always fun with cakes and tea. Friendship for life’s challenge, celebrations and grief.
