Monday Browsing 06-22-20

In the past I have used the Monday post to list sites of interest - I least I think they are interesting!  I haven't browsed much the last six months, too much news gets in the way.  But there is a lot of content due to the limitations of actual quilt museum visits, quilt shows, etc.   Here are just a few online features that you might find of interest.


SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) Textile Talks:


Shipping art quilts a video  with SAQA's Bill Riemer:

Ruth de Vos, an Australian quiltmaker talks about and shows her method, which is similar to that of Ruth B. McDowell.  This video is over an hour long, but I found it fascinating to see how this Ruth works,  especially with her hand crank sewing machine!   One of her large quilts is in TCQC, check her name in the right sidebar. 


Info and bio on a famous African American quilter: 


International Quilt Museum and Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, Nebraska:
Many pages of quils and information about what may be the largest collection of quilts in the world.  Traditional, Art, Modern, International, Old, and New - they have everything. I subscribe to the Quilt of the Month and delight in the great variety of quilts they have featured over the years.  Check out "Quilt of the Month" files.  


This comes from Luana Rubin of eQuilter.  Nice exhibit with meaning.  In case you missed the Virtual Exhibit Opening of "For the Love of Gaia" last week (I am a guest curator for the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln NE for this project) here is a link to the video recording - Enjoy!

And a textile artist using a different tool and method:
