For my independent project, I wanted to make a quilt about my time living in Pittsburgh. The centerpiece would be a map of Oakland-Squirrel Hill area, where I would document where I have lived, and my daily routes to school. I would also stitch on elevations of the houses and my studio spaces. Drawing in the streets would end up becoming the quilting method of sandwiching the cloth. For materials, I will use found fabric (unwanted fabrics and old bedsheets), and the filling we received. I will do a mix of handsewing, machine sewing, and some embroidery.
