Text on quilts

I went round Festival of Quilts looking for how the "drawing" on quilts might turn into "writing", and found quite a lot of text being used - it seems to be flavour of the month. It ranges from computer-generated poems to painted and printed fragments, and stitched text is used as either a feature or as part of the background quilting.

Jette Clover's work is based on printed text and her new white pieces use script as well as print -
Gabi Mett's "Do you remember" uses text - and "pre-text" - in various interesting ways -
