Colcha was presented at Hunter College, of the City University of New York, at the department of Integrated Media Arts December 12th, 2007.

We finished the Golden Colcha in Harlem at Joanna Rose White’s home. Joanna hosted and fed us a delicious minestrone soup and lots of bread and desserts. During some adventures involving fire alarms and photoshoots we finished the crazy Golden Colcha. We were able to spend some time playing and  snuggling with it. We lamented that the process had come to a close, but agreed it had been eye-opening, and immensely fruitful. We enjoyed the successes of the blanket and loved the final result. It was the meetings of course that we would remember and miss.

Please see the Golden Colcha page for more details and a gallery of pictures.

Wedding Colcha was completed in a special extra meeting where the participants came together to attach a few last pieces to the colcha. Christine da Cruz joined us to photograph the last meeting. Delcina Regueiro hosted the meeting and surprised everyone with a cooking class. She showed everyone how to make a group favorite which she had shared with us before–a chicken empanada. After the cooking lesson all remaining crochet pieces were attached. A special last square–a square made by my mother at least 25 years ago–was attached at the very end to complete the colcha.

This special last square was found while digging up the colcha my mother had made which inspired the Wedding Colcha. It was the exact size we needed to fit the colcha and we promptly decided it needed to be added.
