My first impulse was to jump in the car and head for Lansing to see the exhibit. My next thought was, "I want to do that!" But of course it would take me the rest of my natural life to figure out how to thread the needles, so I'll just keep on trying to weave some words.<br /><br />This is all the more interesting because I spend some time Saturday looking at some pioneer quilts from this area that go back to the 1850s -- and perhaps earlier. I can't help but wonder what those quilters would think, to see something like this. I suspect they'd enjoy it. There was a velvet quilt that was as lush and colorful as anything you've shown us. People love beauty, and will create it however they can!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-55120844942929008602014-05-27T12:12:24.096-04:002014-05-27T12:12:24.096-04:00What an interesting show!

Some of these remind me of wonderful Egyptian tapestries of rural scenes that we have. I could never make anything like that myself, but I love to have them on the wall and endlessly admire all the life and nature somehow woven into them.

You know what a fiber nut I am, so this place is right up my street! ;o) So many amazing contributions. I love art quilting, how they are a great medium for sharing stories, and am dipping more into that art. It is just incredible what can be wrought with threads, cloth... Thank you so much for this one--LOVED!! Wow... I just gotta go back and look again!

First of all, thank you kindly dear friend for coming to visit my newest post, and may June be a lovely month for you.
