Quilting; an act of sedition. Post 2

It is an aspect of memes, that they come with a twist; a provocation toward thoughtfulness that might interrupt complacency.

I am a child of last century. My intermediate schooling (11-12 year olds in NZ went to intermediate schools a space between primary and secondary) had girls learning home economics (cooking really) and sewing. Boys learned woodwork and metalwork. There was a term with a few weeks crossover. It was a liberal school. Dont get me wrong, i love sewing, i am just pointing to my having been shaped.  

An engendering of femininity; women's arts with fabrics and threads in earlier times included literacy development with beautiful samplers being part of educative endeavours within the finishing schools for young ladies (Parker, 2010).

This educative endeavour is again revisited; fabric and threads are brought to further literacies. 

This post, as with the preceding one, relates to a quilt for care and  justice in open education https://quilt.femedtech.net/

The words of duvet, dooner, quilt and comforter, have subtle difference, in providing warmth and protection.

Here such softness is juxtaposed with rebellious resurgence.

A meme provides a surreptitious entry point.  There's curiosity piqued; a mixed message requiring a  thoughtfulness. Perhaps a trojan horse, or a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The incoherence interrupts our habitual thinking, the incongruence prompts thoughtfulness for a message that might otherwise be dismissed.
