My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Ny Sheep and Wool Fest
A few pictures from the festival for wool floozies..
Not being a quilter, or a wool enthusiast, what are those things in the top picture? For spinning? And those sheep look like they're made of chocolate! Great pics!
