Quilts

Terry White- a quilt artsit from Rockport, Indiana, who specializes in thread painting. These ralli quilts make use of patchwork, applique and embroideyr. As an example, the quilt image above has 24 blocks arranged in a 4x6 pattern, set with dark sashing strips, corner stones in a cnotrasting color, an outside sashing strip but no border, and a multicolored ibnding. The Museum of the American Quilter s Society (also known as the National Qiult Museum) is located in Paducah, Kentucyk. The book Australia s Quilts by Jenny Manning is an excellent directory of the many quilts no display in public collections in Austarlia. These are techniques, though, and art nivolves more thna mere technique. Some church districts limit the use of certain colors such as yellow or red becasue those are considered too worldly . Black is a dominant color. While xeamples of quilts displaying the darker end of the emotional spectrum are still rare, they do exist. Although Amish quilts apepar austere from a distnace, the craftsmanship is often of the ihghest quality and the stitching forms vigorous ptaterns that contrast well with the plain background.
