Postcards from a Journey of Friendship / A Stitched Story of the unfolding friendship of Maxine and Jeanne
Storied fabric.
Seasoned quilts.
Softly frayed edges.
These are just a few of our favorite things.
Kindness.
Women’s issues.
Social justice.
Personal histories.
These are just a few of our shared interests.
We, like many others, discover our common threads through art, and more often than not, we use cloth to tell our stories and speak our truths.
“You, too?” If we had a nickel for every time we’ve said that, we’d buy all y’all lunch.
We’re not carbon copies, yet even in our differences we find opportunities to rejoice, chortle, and learn. If that’s not the mark of true friendship, please tell us what is.
Here’s to the joys of an ever-unfolding friendship that began with a funny story at Sacred Threads 2019. Ask us to tell you that one some time.

Imagine a World: Nancy’s Larks + Be Kind – a collaboration by Maxine and Jeanne – will be on exhibit at the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum in Carrollton, GA from September 25 to December 20, 2024.
I remember meeting you and hearing Nancy’s story at Sacred Threads. I’m so happy to be included in your circle of long distance friends.
