Photographed (again) one in my space that I need to write about. Will get to it one day soon. Saw a very different Kentucky in mid 1950s. Enjoying your images and am drawn to some of the same.

The quilt makers of this descent have spread their traditions to most places in the U.S. -- the south seemingly the most prevalent. It supports your idea that quilters bond to like groups which radiates out toward other communities.

There are so many great historic quilt books to choose from for your friend. Check out my sidebar -- I just listed "Barbara Brackman Material Culture." I think your friend would really enjoy her post -- it is done well.

I was thinking a a couple of days ago how quilting bees provided women the opportunity to bond and find support among their group, while creating something together that represents so many fine things about this life: home and family (however one defines it), warmth and security, stitching lives together with a common goal.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-39187210018061008512012-01-26T18:41:26.764-08:002012-01-26T18:41:26.764-08:00I'm familiar with the Powers quilt -- a wonder...I'm familiar with the Powers quilt -- a wonderful piece of folk art.

The relative size of each item fascinates me but I haven't been able to arrive at any theory about it --like the ant beside the watermelon. Thanks for the sampling of quilts that are not reproduced in photos very often.June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.com
