On the Road
The deadline for the new Suitcase Collection is fast approaching and this is a gentle reminder to everyone making a much-appreciated contribution. The quilts need to be on the road heading to Deena Goff by 15 October 2019 courtesy of whichever postal or transport system you prefer.
Do you ever feel like being a little less polite and shouting from the rooftop, ‘Get your skates on Mrs or you will miss the boat?’
It would be nice to have a really strong collection as this is the ‘shop-window display’ for Contemporary Quilt. Many groups and individuals gain so much inspiration from these small but beautiful quilts.
Like many given themes, it is not always obvious how
to get started and interpret the words. To some it comes within minutes but to others it can be an agonising time making a decision on where to begin. Just looking at the picture in the June newsletter, displaying a suitcase on a pelican crossing, or is that a zebra crossing, on a road with traffic in
the distance*? Perhaps there is a green and a red man on the traffic lights – or even a green man on the moon? That brings to mind rockets on the way to outer space, passing not cars and pedestrians but planets. It could be ET on a bicycle too! I am sure you have many much better suggestions depicting On the Road!
The topic of insurance for these quilts is aired on a regular basis and we need to be realistic. CQ does not insure the individual quilts, but the suitcase is insured while in transit and should also be covered by the hirer while in their possession. If you as a maker feel it is important that your quilt is insured, you must do so under your personal cover. The quilts will, for insurance purposes, be classified as art and value is therefore difficult to establish and easily disputed should a claim need to be made. Deena will do her utmost to look after your exhibits, but please bear in mind that the exhibits will be handled by many hirers over their three years of travel.
Send your finished quilt to: Deena Goff, Woodlands, Rowly Drive, Cranleigh GU6 8PJ
