Check Out the Quilting Tradition in America
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Think of the world quilting and your mind will draw up a number of stylized and romantic images of women in early America sitting around a quilting bee, or at least contemporary women sitting around their own quilting frame either using hand quilting or sewing machines to relax and complete their quilting projects. However the fact is that quilting is a relaxing modern day hobby that all can enjoy, women and men alike; the most notable example of the latter being quilt collector Jonathan Holstein who sparked American interest in quilting again with his 1971 art exhibition “Abstract Design in American Quilts.”
