For his graduation project from the Iceland Academy of the Arts, Siggi Eggertsson designed a quilt
based upon his childhood memories (obviously a Michael Jordan fan).
It’s 2 x 2.5 metres and made from 10,000 pieces. The quilter, Johanna
Viborg took 250 hours over six weeks to complete it.

Materson began making his intricate needlework pictures, which measure
about 3 by 2 inches each, from unraveled socks. He was in prison at the
time, serving a 25-year sentence for kidnapping and robbery after
becoming an alcoholic and drug addict. His unlikely life story of
redemption through art is aptly, if punningly, told in Sins and Needles: A Story of Spiritual Mending, written by Materson and his wife Melanie. www.raymaterson.com
