A quilt would be great, though!<br /><br />Cathy -- yes, the tumbledryer 'felt' is strangely appealing, isn't it. I'll have to get my stash out and see if I can do something better with it.<br /><br />Barbara -- Hi! Thanks so much.<br /><br />Elaine -- Hi to you too. Wish I'd seen that V&A quilt show. I don't know why I didn't go -- maybe felt I'd seen all quilts had to offer but I know I was wrong. There was an amazing one with a photo in the middle that I saw everywhere. <br /><br />I looked at your IF pic - sweet. So many people post on IF, though, it's crazy!Jane Houshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838867793630660837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-68446875647702048962011-02-01T17:15:12.479+00:002011-02-01T17:15:12.479+00:00I always want to keep tumble dryer fluff!

I have a feeling there was a quilt in the V&A show last year that was examining female roles and housework that was padded with tumble dryer fluff. I also like the idea of a huge fluffy sculpture!<br /><br />I've always assumed that it was all fabric fibres, but if it has got bits of skin in it (like normal dust), then it makes a self-portrait even more apt. In the same autobiographical vein, I've seen embroideries done with hair. <br /><br />I think the patchwork is wonderful, although very sad.<br /><br />I'm so pleased you decided to participate in IF! It's taking me in new directions, I think!<br />Not sure if I'll put the latest one on my blog, but I did put it on flickr<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/kitschandcurious/5399704546Kitsch and Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199950395051649169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-76797442364741702552011-01-31T09:35:43.152+00:002011-01-31T09:35:43.152+00:00Jane both works are very special.

The dust washing machine idea is phantastic and I also love your combination of fabric and words on it, to give it a hole new meaning, that is really brilliant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352999617324383290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-24681462980781688422011-01-30T09:59:04.501+00:002011-01-30T09:59:04.501+00:00This may sound disgusting, but there is something ...This may sound disgusting, but there is something very "wantable" about the fluff you peel from the filter in tumble driers. I personally don't own one, but I peel it off in other people's houses and it always seems such a shame to throw it into a bin! Loved your ingenious use of it.....menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-57500011787576684412011-01-28T15:29:16.283+00:002011-01-28T15:29:16.283+00:00I love the autobiographical quilt.
