Um...I could look at these all day. Wonderful. And more art than just technique. The high technique displaces the art too often for me, although I love the technique...but I love the art more.
Thank you for mentioning this. I had missed this. I'll come to the well more often.

Amazing! I could use up a lot of time on that site. I wasn’t able to listen to the audio recordings yet but just reading the first line of some of them gave you a real sense of the quilter being interviewed. Now I need to go look up the countypin quilt design. Thanks!
