Dans le cadre de la seconde édition du Festival International des Textiles Extra ordinaires FITE2014_15, deux projets quilt / patchwork sont organisés en Auvergne, en France et de par le monde.
Que vous soyez amateurs ou spécialistes, vous pouvez participer à l'un des deux projets collaboratifs urbains, Grandmother's flowers garden et Déjeuner sur l'herbe.
Le premier, consiste en la réalisation de "fleurs" à partir de textiles de récupération que nous assemblerons lors des soirées du FITE sur un métier traditionnel.
Le second, proposé pour les groupes de quilters, permet de créer librement un plaid à partir du motif "vol d'oie". Ces plaids deviennent des espaces d'échanges sur le temps du festival avant d'être vendus au profit de l'association Médecins sans Frontières pour soutenir leurs actions et plus particulièrement aux Philippines et en Syrie.
Vous trouverez les fiches techniques de ces deux projets sur le site du FITE:
N'hésitez pas à nous faire parvenir régulièrement vos créations en images pour que nous puissions les montrer sur nos page web.

As part of the second edition of the International Festival of Extra ordinary Textiles FITE2014_15, two quilt projects are organized in Auvergne , France and all around the world .
Whether you are an amateur or specialist , you can participate in one of two urban collaborative projects, called Grandmother's flowers garden and Déjeuner sur l'herbe .
Grandmother's flower garden is the realization of "flowers" from old textiles that we will put together during the FITE on a traditional frame .The second, proposed to guilds and bees, invites you to create a quilt according to the " flying geese " pattern.
These quilts become places to gather, sit, and exchange during the festival time before being sold in aid of Médecins Sans Frontières ( Doctors Without Borders) to support their actions especially in the Philippines and Syria .You can find the guidelines for these two projects on the website of the FITE :
