It’s been three years since the Boulder MQG’s quilt show An Exploration in Sustainable Quilting. You can see all of the quilts from that here and here.
Eliu and Shelly continue to be a huge inspiration with their commitment to sustainability in quilting and we were lucky enough to talk to them both about their quilting journeys during the February evening meeting.
Shelly and Eliu have both recently appeared on episodes of the podcast Check Your Thread.
A recording of the presentation is available for all members. Check the Member Area for a link.
Shelly does a lot of work with reclaimed and thrifted fabrics. You can find her on Instagram as @encodedstudio to see more of her amazing work.
Shelly has a piece hanging at the Boulder Public Library Maker Made show that is made from woven VHS tape.
Eliu has definitely changed how many of us look at a pair of jeans. He doesn’t just use the fabric but he even goes as far as reclaiming the thread.
Eliu is on Instagram as @madeorremade and you should definitely check out all his incredible work.
Hopefully Eliu and Shelly inspired you to think more about the impact of your quilting!
