Needlework article in Baltimore Sun
Y'all might be interested in this article about antique needlework from
the Thursday, July 1st issue of the Baltimore Sun. The title was "Stitches in Time". (And if you can't get the link to work, you can go to www.baltimoresun.com and do a search for "Oblate Sisters") http://www.baltimoresun.com/features...,1227143.story Sue |

Oh my goodness! THANK YOU!! I had no idea!! I knew about the work
black Americans did on quilts, that they were often seamstresses (dressmakers) of high regard. But this article is simply marvelous. I wish so much they had pictures!!

The women of Gee's Bend Alabama are noted for their quilts. Quite of few of the families came north during WWII and settled in Connecticut. Some of the quilts from Gee's Bend have toured the US.

I could kick myself for missing these quilts in DC this spring. I waited
until my last morning there to run an errand to the DAR for my mom, and guess what was two buildings down? The Corchoran Gallery, with a huge banner across the front proclaiming that the Quilts of Gee's Bend were on exhibit. But I only had an hour to make it to the DAR, back to the hotel, and on the road. -- Jacqueline Carmichaels PA wrote in message m... Susan Hartman/Dirty Linen wrote in message ...

I wish so much they had pictures!! I wish they had photos, too. The photos they *did* have were of people looking at the samplers and holding them with white gloves. Only one photo that showed the needlework, and from too far away to make out detail. sigh Sue |
