Each week people gathered to tell stories and embroider memories. The group was inspired by Amazwi Abesifazane, Voices of Women, in South Africa. Those courageous women began making Memory Cloths to tell their stories of Apartheid; they asked us to share their healing process in the U.S. We honor them in our work choosing our own stories and messages.</span><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", serif; font-size: 13pt;">The Circle participants, buoyed by the group’s energy and creativity continue to meet weekly. Today the Memory Cloth Circle brings together 20+ professional and non-professional women artists from various backgrounds. All enjoy sharing ideas, resources and stories in stitches using vintage and repurposed fabrics through embroidery, applique, collage, knitting, crochet, and mixed media. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;

I thought it was so silly. Now thinking about it, I realize some of us are truly lucky enough to have this relationship. Bobbie Malone and I met in the Fall of 1974 and we have been BFF ever since. We painted murals together when we both lived in New Orleans, standing next to each other day and night for more than 3 solid years. We told each other our life stories, we became family, bringing our husbands and children into our life-long friendship. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />We haven’t lived anywhere near each other since 1978, though we are in consent contact, sharing the ups and downs of our daily lives. A few years ago, Bobbie suggested we have a mini joint project. We both love needlepoint. She was spending a lot of time riding in the car and wanted a project easy to carry around. I’m always painting. There’s no difference between painting on an artist’s canvas or a needlepoint canvas. I decided to paint flowers in full bloom. We always added plants somewhere in the murals. Now we are in full bloom ourselves, being 73 and 78 respectively. It’s our time to share the beauty of a flowering friendship in another collective creation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Robin Halpren-Ruder, Providence, RI<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Bobbie’s story;<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Robin was the artist-in-residence at my children’s public school in the French Quarter when we met. I was designing needlepoint canvases and teaching needlepoint courses when we decided to create our mural-painting business, Artenvirons. I have become immersed in more fabric-related projects; Robin has become more immersed in painting. Her palette, like her personality, is primary and bright, because she constantly focuses on and consciously chooses to find and assert happiness in her Matisse-inspired works. I so enjoyed exploring new stitches when I worked on this pillow, and I placed both of our initials along the bottom of the piece. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span lang="ES-US" style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Bobbie Malone, San Antonio, TX<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span lang="ES-US" style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span lang="ES-US" style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJh3GUbVJwRNnvFsPglOyqIejFsjn5J31w5tBfnP5u363SiMzWRerJNYuAmfdkSlSGbYfMRjmf07-98Nsw9q8dTfR5DHetj8bLfDgjgO2uZGivJja01v-zqyKmFJBXBtCNwTEirJok4hcIpXU_Y-aYn-gsOMtAcsMHU-q1b7djJlvUu8RLojqnulc/s4032/4F7E0B64-6542-41CA-8CD9-56416B18C94A_1_201_a.heic" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJh3GUbVJwRNnvFsPglOyqIejFsjn5J31w5tBfnP5u363SiMzWRerJNYuAmfdkSlSGbYfMRjmf07-98Nsw9q8dTfR5DHetj8bLfDgjgO2uZGivJja01v-zqyKmFJBXBtCNwTEirJok4hcIpXU_Y-aYn-gsOMtAcsMHU-q1b7djJlvUu8RLojqnulc/w480-h640/4F7E0B64-6542-41CA-8CD9-56416B18C94A_1_201_a.heic" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGMINuXBe4U_hYmv_pyNH0xUwr5y8KF3mgndg59MmQz7Qt89W--ix9ihR_H3haHQCVc9Za8UV_iKMBM9rhZZ4hAohw-yL5oTaQCH5DTtcr3UkZfStt3M4eGruaDSwm9Zati_LGEKzyIaUTmfyfT5psh7H8BzENW9Wv7kGRGNonkYEHvyke0u5mf_Y/s4032/E72F7806-E48B-4123-8FAE-4FCAA63DFEC7.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGMINuXBe4U_hYmv_pyNH0xUwr5y8KF3mgndg59MmQz7Qt89W--ix9ihR_H3haHQCVc9Za8UV_iKMBM9rhZZ4hAohw-yL5oTaQCH5DTtcr3UkZfStt3M4eGruaDSwm9Zati_LGEKzyIaUTmfyfT5psh7H8BzENW9Wv7kGRGNonkYEHvyke0u5mf_Y/w480-h640/E72F7806-E48B-4123-8FAE-4FCAA63DFEC7.heic" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p>Lesleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05368346202259825557noreply@blogger.com0
