1,000 Stitches
Lynn Krawczyk

12"h x 12"w

 

Artist statement: This quilt honors The 1,000 Knitters Project. The project, organized by Franklin Habit, honors the diversity of knitters and the beauty of the craft. I began knitting two years ago during a difficult time in my life and I have leaned on this art ever since as a form of meditation and comfort. The knitted fabric on this quilt has 1,000 stitches in it. I am always amazed at the kindness of knitters and the bonds that are instantly formed when we meet for the first time. Franklin's project is a symbol of the ties that link every knitter together.
