I was saying that I'm amazed by how passionate you are on this topic. I never felt like I had such a strong passion. I have interest and like to do different things, but none that I am so knowledgeable about!Laetitia - French Fries and Apple Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857392389352735428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-3425805753465608242014-12-31T00:12:19.728-08:002014-12-31T00:12:19.728-08:00So interesting, as the daughter of antique dealers...So interesting, as the daughter of antique dealers I was not even aware of this genre of quilts.

Generalizations are always going to be flawed or disproven in some way. Roderick Kiracofe's new book shows the universality of improvisational style, and Benberry's book shows the universality of traditional style. With Gee's Bend coming to QuiltCon, there should be more talk. A good resource is the Gee's Bend episode of the "Why Quilts Matter" series, and I think there will be screenings at QuiltCon.

Sara...(Hmm...not sure if my comment went through.)<br /><br />Sarah's quilt is quite lovely! Thanks for sharing it here and thanks for this post overall. I'm often told that I don't make African-American quilts and often don't know what is meant by such comments. Indeed, in the art world some accept only a certain few themes in painting and sculpture by black artists. That's a different sort of issue, but points to the myriad messiness in these comments.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />And happy 2015!cauchy09https://www.blogger.com/profile/09343566591325967770noreply@blogger.com
