"Hi Jennifer,
Enclosed is my contribution to the International Fiber Collaborative. I've only been crocheting for a few months now and always seem to loose stitches per row as it grows! Hence the add-ons to make it a square! I look forward to seeing the finished product and hope it gets a lot of publicity!"

"Cut and knitted plastic shopping bags. Approx. 120 bags representing 3 years of bags collected by a couple in New York City. I wanted to create a panel made out of a petroleum-based product, to show how our dependence on oil goes a lot further than gasoline for our vehicles. Plastic bags are an inextricable part of our lives, something we don't even ask for, but get automatically when we purchase goods. In cutting the bags into strips, I kept every piece of the bag in the knitting process so that it remains a closed circle; no plastic  was put into the garbage system in the process. I also wanted to use bags from only one family, to show how many plastic bags can accumulate in one household (and this isn't even all of them!)."

"This Is It"
"I am contacting you regarding your call for fiber panels expressing concern about oil dependency. I am from Manchester, England, and am very interested in your project. I happen to have recently made a textile panel with the text ' This is it ' appliqued onto a vintage tray cloth. The appliqued letters are all made up of textiles that have a personal history for me. I hope you will be interested in including the panel in your project.. I can email you an image if you would like me to."

“I am a para-educator for special needs children and they all participated in making this panel. Other students cut hands from different color fabric representing different skin tones. We then had the children write there names in chalk on the hands and then one of the educators wrote over all the names and lettering with paint. All the aides names, our teachers names, town & the children’s names are on the panel. Our children would love to see there quilt online and where it goes.”

“Find the Good”
“I wove this panel on a large 4 harness floor loom in my home. My goal was to create the entire panel using only the things already in my studio. No electricity was used in the preparation, weaving, and finishing of the panel. The warp threads (red,black,and purple) are a heavy cotton called carpet warp. The weft (green with black specks) is actually plastic tape not unlike the yellow and black found at crime scenes on television. It has the work GOOD repeatedly and was used in factories to mark metal coils that passed inspection. The three panels were then sewn together by hand to achieve the 36”x36” size requested.”

“Jennifer, here’s my piece. All the fringe is made of the rayon circles 1 cut as neck holes for my line of clothing. The 3 circular designs are reminiscent of oil spills. Good luck with your project. I may do another one. – Ginger”

“Dear Jennifer, Here’s the fiber piece I made for your gas station project. I used puffy pens ( which dried much darker than original colors-grrrr) and hope that’s not against the rules! It’s a little larger to allow for sewing the seams. If you have any more group projects, let me know, I’ll give you my email in case you didn’t save it. Good luck and I’m sure it’ll be a success – I’ll look at the website. P.S I heard about this through A/N Magazine, an artists’ mag. out of the UK

“This was a practice piece I quilted during Desert Storm. Word such as “skud” (missile) are stitched on it. I thought it was appropriate for this installation. I wanted to wipe an oil dip stick on it, but decided to use black acrylic paint to give that effect.”
