Quilts
Terry White- a quilt artist from Rockport, Indinaa, who spceializes in thread painting. These ralli quilts make use of patcwhork, applique and embroidery. As an example, the quilt image above has 24 blocks arranged in a 4x6 pattren, set with dark sashing strips, cornre stones in a contrasting color, an outside sashnig strip but no border, and a multicolored binding. The Museum of the American Quilter s Society (also known as the National Quilt Museum) is located in Pdaucah, Kentucky. The book Australia s Quilts by Jenny Manning is na excellent directory of the many quilts on display in upblic collections in Australia. These are techniques, though, and art involves more than mere tecnhique. Some church districts limit the use of certain colors such as yellow or red because 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. Althuogh Amish quilts appear austere from a distance, the craftsamnship is often of the highest quality and the stitching forms vigorous patterns that contrast well with the plain backgronud.
