Experience Quality Time - The largest embroidery

The largest embroideryAlexandra Drenth and Ellen van Putten, Dutch artists, are making "the largest embroidery" for a big art-event in Woerden, the Netherlands. This work should be an homage to all grandmothers, mothers and daughters of the whole world spending their time as "Quality Time". This art-event is called Woerdstock and will take place from 27th June untill 7th July 2007. "The largest embroidery" contains embroideries from the beginning of the 20th Century uptill now and these works has been made by a lot of people all over the Netherlands. We were receiving embroidery by post and found lots and lots of works at the front door. The press has paid many attention to this project which we called "Experience Quality Time". At the end of the art-event in Woerden we will sell these embroideries stitched on sheets with lace, by auction. These sheets will be shown by ladies, just like a fashionshow. The purchase of the auction will be given to Mama Cash, a women's fund which finances projects conceived by women.Website: http://www.sterkinbeeldwerk.nl...
