The Thread Project: One World, One Cloth/ International Exhibition

by Terry Helwig, Ellen Dressler Moryl (Editor)

For five years, women threaded forty-nine looms world-wide to weave tens of thousands of gathered threads into forty-nine panels of cloth, buttoned in such a way as to create seven different colored cloths-one for each continent. Just as the seven continents create one world; the seven cloths create one world cloth. The individual threads, representing more than seventy countries, were pulled from the fabric of people's lives, from their clothing, fishing rods, animals, guitars-even a piece of bicycle tire. Some threads reflect loss, like Michael's shoe-lace offered by his grieving mother; other threads reflect elation, like Heidi's tassel from her graduation cap.
