Crazy Quilt Help for a Quilter
Hi Guys,
One of the men -- Dr. Zachary Smith aka Doc -- from over at RCTQ (the quilting newsgroup) needs a Latin translation for "crazy quilt". I told him to post his request here because I know we have several Italian stitchers & designers who lurk but don't often post. I wanted to let you all know that he is legit -- not some spammer. If he posts himself, then folks can more easily contact him directly with a translation if that's what they prefer to do. CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ (RCTQ Queen of Kitties) Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their whiskers!

Thanks Mary,
OK, consider this my request, 'cuz it is. We (DW and myself) just thought it would be a neat embellishment to embroider "crazy quilt" upon a crazy quilt in Latin. As Mary intimates, "Reply to author"/email is fine too if you prefer. Thanks.

My New College dictionary gives lodix (f) or stragulum (n) for blanket, but I'm not familiar with those. Didn't come up much in Livy or Caesar. I have my Lewis and Short downstairs and I'll check citations if anyone want me to follow up on those. Sara, AB Latin '82 (which explains the rust) |

Visit my Photo albums at *http://community.webshots.com/user/tiamary I'm reading it - this thread at any rate - and I may have other questions from time to time as I re/learn about needlework of various kinds. The women on my mothers side were seriously into just about everything going back at least three generations (that I know of). Records beyond that point are long lost on the far side of the pond... There is also a healthy discussion of this topic going on in alt.language.latin. If I'd had my act together when I began this quest, I'd have cross-posted it to all three groups, but I didn't know about this group until Mary's recommendation, and little did I realize the intricacies involved in what I naïvely thought would be a relatively simple translation - delirus/excors/fatuus/ineptus/ leviculus/ridiculus (all adjectives meaning silly) me. I'll do that when everyone seems argued out or gets bored with it. :-) Doc |

Visit my Photo albums at *http://community.webshots.com/user/tiamary You are Welcome Tia Mary , of course it was only a try on my side , but i weighted all the possibilities and came up with this one , I think qwe really should look how it translates ito Italian /French and other Latin langugaes . There are known Crazy Quilts from the Crusaders time , One [historical] expert claimed that this were the first recorded Crazy quilts . We don`t have a `Real Hebrew` name for them , although in the Bible there is a place were the `Sewers of blankets` are mentioned .brrr it slipped my mind at this moment where exactly, i must check my lectures .. mirjam |
