Thank you. I couldn't develop the story more because I can not paste or make paragraph spaceings with my enter key. So I use links, embed and pictures to tell the story the best I could. It has been like this for a while. Downloading foxfire is out of the question because this is not my computer. Maybe Mike will fix it soon. I have several quilts that need finished but I quilt in spurts. It is an expensive art but I have enough fabric to last me the rest of my life because I have been doing this for a long time.

Momoe, this is a wonderful article. I apologize for getting to it late. My internet service went nuts yesterday and even with a new DSL modem it's still freaky so I don't know if this will get on or not.

I love quilts and have tried my hand at quilting enough to know it's a whole lot of work. These are beautiful. Your Christmas quilt is amazing!

When things calm down on this here machine I'll get back to reading the articles. Looking forward to it. Thanks.

These quilts are just AMAZING!

One has to understand the complexities of this art form.

I catch some of this art on PBS from time to time.

I mean, anthropologically speaking, this patchwork is not just difficult but involves creative thinking, planning.

That is all I got!

The art is like cooking!

You use what you have at hand.

This is one of my Christmas quilts. You can see the back, front, boarder and binding. I quilt these in strips on my sewing machine and then put them together from the back and make the binding part of the pattern so you can use either side for show.

Here is one of the quilts I have made. I machine quilted it. The blocks came from friends all over the world in a block swap on the internet. It is done in reproduction prints from the 19th century.

You know how I translate this?

This is community!

This is cooperation!

This is cultural consciousness!

I bet that these quilts are not just treasured by the 'tribe' but by the purchasers.

Thank you for this!

A wonderful example of community and the members working together!
