The abstract quilt, Mended World, was one of the four meditation panels in the Manitoulin Circle Project. The project took place between 2009 and 2013, every Thursday for four years under the leadership of Judy Martin. Over 140 volunteers came to the United Church in Little Current over the four year time span to add their time and touch to the panels. Some were regulars, others dropped in once or twice.
The images in this post show Mended World on the frame. Completed in 2012, it is now on tour with the exhibition Masterworks: Abstract and Geometric curated by Martha Sielman.
This exhibition began at the 2017 International Quilt Festival in Houston Texas and then went to Japan in 2018 and 2019 as well as parts of the USA. It is going to China this September and to Germany in 2020. The complete itinerary is below:
