This quilt, entitled ‘Everything I ever did’ by Bryony Shearmur was on show at Colonnade House last week. Bryony said I could share it here, as I thought it was amazing. When you study the details, it’s lots of tiny (and huge) things that make up a lifetime of memories. People often ask ‘What do you do’, and the reply is usually what you do for work, as if that’s the main thing that defines you. This quilt captures other things – big things, little fleeting memories, moments in time, inconsequential things, significant things…all the things that buzz around in our heads but don’t often get said. I found it very moving.
