Tributaries: Poem Quilt

Poem QuiltNoelia A. writes:

“Mi name is Noelia, I´m from Argentina and I´m a huge fan or your work. I found you, like many others, through TED talks. Your poem, Point B, moved me so much. I probably listened to it around 40 times. I had never listened spoken poetry before. Your talk woke up an interest I didn´t think I could ever have. I´m a crafter, mainly a quilter, I work with my hands an create objects but I´m not very good with words. With the melody of your poem in my head, I thought I could use the words to make a quilt. Essentially, the words are what make the quilt (the quilting itself, what keeps all the layers together. I chose some of the lines of the poem, not all of it and fee-hand quilted them over a piece of linen) and then added the rainbow embroidery, which is to my quilt what the melody is to your poem.”

What an absolutely beautiful quilt. Click the image above to get a better look at Noelia’s beautiful craftsmanship.
