Here's a quote I love, taken from an old cover of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine.
"How can a few pieces of music, some paint on canvas, mere pieces of cloth sewed together have this power to lift the human spirit? No one can explain this: it is the mystery of art."
Rose Wilder Lane,Womans's Day Book of American Needlework, 1963
yeah
The quilt top is called "Under African Skies". I made it a couple years ago in spite of having my annual holiday season flu. Right now it is at the top of the "to be quilted" pile. In places in Africa, women paint the front of their houses with amazing abstract and geometrical patterns. Thats what inspired this quilt. I do have a whole series of house quilts going.
