Taking the Time, 2008<br />

Jax Rula (Waterloo, ON)<br />

Fabric, wood, polyfill, paperclay, yarn and leather; soft cloth sculpted,<br />

hand quilted, knitted. 19" x 13" x 16"<br />

When I think of quilting I think of the community<br />

that is built when women spend time together:<br />

Emma has enjoyed this time with her daughter and<br />

grand-daughter. (Time is relative) <strong>The</strong> story she<br />

tells now is of her first quilt and the women who<br />

taught her. (Timeless memories)<br />

Lizzy picked the Tree theme. She has been missing<br />

the tree that got sick and died last year. (Time<br />

marches on) It will be a long time before the new<br />

one they planted reaches her window. (Time heals<br />

all wounds). Inspired by Sheila McAlpine, Eilleen<br />

Yorsh, Kathy Koehler & Carol Plue taught me how to<br />

quilt so I could make this piece.<br />
