Fifteen by Fifteen

Fifteen by Fifteen is an international group of 15 artists sharing the same passion: textile art. Spread across the world, their meetings are mostly virtual.Each year, one or more themes are chosen, and the artists create six quilts.The photos and explanations of each artist’s approach are posted on the group’s website every 8 weeks.The size of the quilts is linked to the group’s name: 15 x 15 inches (about 38 x 38 cm).The personality of each artist, the wide range of techniques and media they use to create their works, from painting to textile collages to hand or machine embroidery, allows them to create original works. Not only do they share a love of textile art, but also a desire to learn, experiment, and the will to share their passion with a wide audience. Their work has already been exhibited in France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Taiwan.

Year

2023

The group Fifteen by Fifteen is presenting a collection of 90 quilts created in 2022. During the year, each quilter made six quilts. Their task was to choose a painter and to work using the same style. Within the theme, each quilter was able to pick a sub-theme for each of their quilts. Stepping out of their comfort zone by adopting another artist’s style without copying them, and complying to the theme while maintaining their own style was a true challenge for all of them. This exhibition also marks the group’s tenth year.
