In my piece, I also added things like &#8216;Artquiltmaker&#8217;. The piece is a commentary on all the things for which women are responsible. I hope that my piece makes viewers think about, and value, women and the responsibilities they have.<\/p>\n<p>This piece was started in a <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/sisters-retreat-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">class with Rosalie Dace<\/a>\u201cWord for Word\u201d at <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/sisters-retreat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sisters in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We had to say why we were in the class in one sentence. People talked about their names as well, but I can\u2019t remember if that was part of the question or just evolved. One fellow student talked about how she had many names \u2013 nicknames, names she called herself or wanted to be called, names others called her. She has a long and girly name, so the permutations are endless.<\/p>\n<p>This got me to thinking about my name. My name has no nicknames. None. That made me think about my roles. Even if I have no nicknames, I have roles. I decided to use my roles as a basis for my piece.<\/p>\n<p>This idea gelled into place so quickly that it was frightening. Because of the speed, I was really unsure of the whole concept. I talked with Rosalie about it and she loved the idea, so I went for it. Every staged gelled, so I just kept working.<\/p>\n<p>The background, in grey, is the essence of who I am.It says ME.<\/p>\n<p>Who Am I? was finished in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials 100% cotton fabric 100% cotton thread cotton and rayon ribbon Techniques Machine pieced Machine applique&#8217; Machine quilted &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Details: Year: 2024 Size: ?\u201dx ?\u201d Fabric: various Quilted By: Colleen Granger &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Details Who Am I? is a commentary on the roles &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/series-quilts\/political-quilts\/who-am-i\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Who Am I?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":7872,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-66067","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66067"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66071,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66067\/revisions\/66071"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
