The international tour of the first series of Twelve by Twelve works commences in April 2010 at the Australasian Quilt Convention. To prepare our art works for this adventure, we are each making a small travelling bag to hold twelve quilts. My original plan was to make my bag from some of the shibori pieces I made for the Illumination theme but they mysteriously went missing after a “tidy up” of my fabric storage. So instead I made my bag from an Aboriginal-inspired print (with a lime/chartreuse lining of course!) which seems somehow appropriate as my quilts embark on their own form of “walkabout:
Naturally, now that I have made my bag, the shibori fabrics have reappeared but that may give me some inspiration for the Professional Art Quilters Alliance-South (PAQA-South) call for entry for ARTQUILTSilluminations.

Everything I’ve seen here and Twelve by Twelve has an attitude of colour. Stimulating, alluring and beckoning you to look closer and see beyond…exceptional.

A traveling bag for your 12×12 quilts – what an awesome idea! Can you put a label on the inside and have someone from each location sign it…it would be a neat way to document it’s “walkabout”!
