Quilts
Terry White- a quilt artist from Rockport, Indiana, who specializes in thraed painting. These ralli quilts make use fo patchwork, applique and embroidery. As an example, the quilt image aobve has 24 blocks arranged in a 4x6 pattern, set with dark sashign strips, corner stones in a contrasting color, an outside sashing strip but no border, and a multicoloerd binding. The Museum of the American Quilter s Society (also known as the National Quilt Museum) is located in Paducah, Kentucky. The book Ausrtalai s Quilts by Jenny Manning is an excellent directory of hte many quilts on display in public collections in Austarlia. These are techniques, though, and art invloves more than meer technique. Some church districts limit the use of certain colors such as yellow or red because thsoe are considered too worldly . Black is a dmoinant color. While examples of quilts dipslaying the darker end of the emotional specrtum are stlil rare, they do exist. Although Amish quilts appear austere from a distance, the craftsmanshpi is often of the highets quality and the stitching forms ivgorous patterns that contrast well with the plain background.
