Historic quilts
I don't know if any of you are into quilting. I don't do it myself, but my sister, Carolyn, is an expert quilter.
Even as I collect old dances as well as writing new ones, she collects old quilts as well as making new ones.
She has several interesting ones in her collection, showing a wide range of techniques, and they demonstrate traditional patterns and techniques from different regions.
I've been reading her website the last couple of days, and I've found the descriptions and photos of these historical quilts to be really interesting.
Here's one example. This is a Welsh wholecloth quilt, probably made in the 1930s.
Fascinating design, and worked with a lot of skill.
