Project Details - Love from the World
(as inspired by and reference from Fabric of the Nation project):
HOW TO MAKE A PATCHWORK
You don't have to be a professional artist to create your own personal piece of tribute to Jun Ki.
Let your imagination run free! Create what you want to convey to Jun Ki.
On your patchwork, please include
1) the line "I Love You" in your own native language,
2) the country / state / province / city you are from, and
3) how ever many heart(s) you want to put on the square.
To contribute a patchwork block, please follow the guidelines below:
β’ SIZE - Your starting piece of material should measure 4.5" by 4.5" (11.4cm x 11.4cm).
Seam allowance should be ΒΌ" or 6mm. This means that the design on your patchwork block should
measure 4" by 4" or 10.1cm by 10.1cm (no more, no less!)
β’ MATERIAL - For durability and posterity purposes, please use 100% cotton material, medium-weight and non-stretch
β’ DESIGN - You can design the patchwork using different types of media, among which :
*Applique (hand or machine) fabrics, letters and/or small mementos onto the background fabric.
*Machine or hand piece a block.
*Cross stitched blocks can also be used, but do remember to secure the sides with scotch/masking tape to prevent it from fraying.
*Embellishments like ribbons, charms, buttons and beads.
Here are some examples from Fabric of the Nation project:
It is very important that you do not include anything impenetrable within the border space because
a needle must be able to pass through the fabric to sew the different patchwork blocks together.
To participate:
