The Long Yarra Quilt In 2003 a group of hikers spent three weeks following the Yarra from Port Philip Bay to its source, walking at a leisurely pace and taking numerous photographs. Feeling deeply impressed by the beauty of the river, and realising what a profound influence it had had on uncounted generations, Kate Whitehouse conceived the idea of inviting people living along its banks to make quilt blocks depicting their own impressions. Apart from the size of each piece, no limitations were placed on the making of the blocks, and so submissions included embroidery, appliquè, oil painting, pastel—even a photograph reproduced on cloth. Subjects included native birds, trees, early morning fog, favourite camping places and snippets of local history. Some contributors included a short explanation of their work. The web site displays about forty individual pieces, with close-ups and notes.
Oh—and I built the website.
