I have a new site and posted the update with pics of us and of the textile in situ: http://www.rayela.com/sidneys-ties/<br /><br />He is truly an exceptional person and making this piece was challenging but so fulfilling as his story brewed in my mind. :)Rachel Bielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804950102480086440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-68299802637472702722013-06-07T11:01:05.648-05:002013-06-07T11:01:05.648-05:00I just came across this story (while websurfing). ...I just came across this story (while websurfing). This is the most incredible necktie quilt art I've ever seen! It's absolutely gorgeous, original and stunning! Thank you for sharing the very lovely story. I liked the memory pieces you made in honor of Bruce, too. <br />Cathy Perlmutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366874497046582056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-73420277780355456632009-10-06T10:32:42.112-05:002009-10-06T10:32:42.112-05:00How lovely, I have just finished a rag rug project...How lovely, I have just finished a rag rug project with donated clothing including ties and could not find out a way to include the ties but wove the sky with them and it worked perfectly. We are about to embark on another project hopefully to create a map using school uniforms from the Wirral schools, but it will not just involve schools, it will involve older ladies from Wirral Methodist Housing and will take place in the local art gallery. Here is hoping we have the grant in the bag!ABScrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162666106635831663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-15081379653870555372009-10-03T21:50:01.490-05:002009-10-03T21:50:01.490-05:00Obrigada, Jose...

I emailed him about whether he wanted me to include the dowel or not (complicates packaging), and he answered other things, but not that yet. I will ship it Monday or Tuesday and he said he is going to hang it in his office in Arizona where it will be seen by all the folks who hang around him. So, I'm excited that he will be able to share his collection and his story.Rachel Bielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804950102480086440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281883476739158489.post-35657758284032517102009-10-03T21:38:18.379-05:002009-10-03T21:38:18.379-05:00Absolutely incredible!

I miss all the fabrics I discarded when I didn't know what to do with them. It is a remarkable chance to create relics from what the loved ones used. This is a relic!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.com
