Greetings from New Hampshire,
Crazy
Quilting was considered the first form of "art" quilting and to some
extent reflects the aesthetics of the Japanese penchant for asymmetry,
first noted at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Recently, I
posted a photo of my latest Crazy Quilt (just a block) which is more of
an tangible expression of emotion than a quilt for quilting's sake. You
see, when I made the quilt, I was remembering my mother. I wrote an
article about the
experiences of her life, late in the game, and I include a photo of the
quilt block. What is art, if not to express our reflections and
responses to life?
Best regards,
