“I will not be questioned!”
The Daleks - season 01 - 1963
My quilt guild got a private tour if the exhibit “Ecology of Quilts” currently on display at the American Folk Art Museum here in New York on this snowy Saturday
Please enjoy some of the amazing works
All pieces are hand sewn and hand quilted.
I am in love. (1856)
The colors! The patterns! The appliqué! The piecing! The trapunto (stuffing portions like the fruit for 3-d)! The patterns of the quilting! (Date given as mid 19th century)
😱😱😱
The incredible trapunto and cording! The intense process to actually achieve white fabric (this one is c1810)
This one was made by a congregation honoring members who had passed. Each block was made by a different person but using this same fabric combination and similar weeping willow motifs. Some had a name, some had poems.
More!
Made by two sisters in 1830-1831, chintz and stenciled with hand painted detailed floral blocks
Postage stamp quilt from the 1930s. Called this as every square a square inch resembling a postage stamp (and our wonderful tour guide for scale).
Men’s suiting quilt, c 1900. Made by a tailor that used the scraps and bits left over.
Several I completely forgot to take down any information about. Top two are 20th century, bottom two are 19th.

The American Folk Art Museum is free to visit.
Sorry the photos are crap. Light is low to help protect colors and I was distracted by the pretty.
i want all my friends and followers and mutuals and acquaintances to know from the bottom of my heart: i don’t respond to your messages because i’m an insane person, i am insane medieval hermit software running inappropriately on modern queer hardware and social media scares me. it is not your fault
when i get a notifications on my phone i try to kill my phone with a rock
and the thing is I don’t even do anything. I won’t even fade into nothing like I should at this point
