This weeks Tuesday Threads are mady by Piet van Veen. 

Piet stitched this beautiful summer quilt, but not all by himself...
 

 

This 'summer' piece is a friendship piece, embroidered by 16 people, 15 women and 1 man.

 

A friendship piece is a kind of forwarded letter. The owner of the piece, Piet in this case, determines the subject.

He also stitches something on it himself, usually the edge, or an example. Then it goes to the first person after him and so the piece is sent to another person in the group every month, until it is returned to you after, in this case, 15 months. Then you see if anything needs to be done, e.g. filling in some holes.

 

You are still not allowed to show the piece, you do that when you meet with the group.
