ContemporaryFashionEducation: August 2015
http://contemporaryfashioneducation.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. Everyone seems to be quilting these days. Cynthia made this quilt for her daughter. In POST 47: QUILT. I presented my grandmother's quilt and its history. Quilts are good examples of the different ways people see the world, and how their views are reflected in their quilts and other art work. That is why I am devoting this post to a presentation of readers' quilts. I invite you to send pictures of your work to my e-mail address. So I can publish your pictures and information.
