The art of quilt-making: Memories, stitched together 20 Februar, 2014 | Source: The Jakarta Post In Cipete, an affluent neighborhood in South Jakarta, the women of the Cipete Quilt Community have invented various quilt patterns, not only for blankets but also for pillow cases, tablecloths and to praying mats. “The community was established sometime between March and April of 2008,” Jakarta-based quilt maker Nisa Hariadi, owner of Nisa’s Quilt, told The Jakarta Post on the sidelines of the community’s annual gathering in Kemang, South Jakarta recently.
As soon as she got back to Jakarta in 2004, Nisa’s husband encouraged her to maintain her quilting skills. She then focused on setting up Nisa’s Quilt, which has grown into a community of 350 members. Most of the members are stay-at-home mothers. Looking ahead, the Jakarta-based quilting community thinks that landscape will soon be the new trendy pattern.
