Quilt History Connections
I used to be a Classical archaeologist, excavating in Israel and studying ceramics in Rome for months at a time. I didn’t come to quilting until the end of my graduate school career, when I visited my grandparents the last spring break before I decided to leave the academic hamster wheel after 4 years. Well, […]
Folk Art Fantasy, and a Gift in Three Parts
When I was growing up, my mom always told me fairy tales, either of her own devising or the more “usual”. Even as a kid, I knew she was like Anne of Green Gables: her mind was (and is) a place for delightful imaginings and stories. When my friend Amanda Murphy asked me if I […]

Books for the Quilting Geek: History edition
With the holidays coming up, I thought I’d share some of the books I have in the current rotation that I find to be beautiful, inspirational, and educational. They make good gifts, that’s true, but they’re also a good excuse to set some quiet time aside for yourself. I confess I have a slight addiction […]
