One Patch Wonder

There is motion in One Patch with Tufting, by Lucy Strauss. A wonderful play of flowering blooms of thread spread over an entire field of color. Made around 1930, it is from a current exhibition at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute in Utica, New York.

Quilt for a Full Moon

Today at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute to see the quilt exhibition there. Made in 1922, this quilt looks totally black, but my camera shows the variation in the cloth. The stand-in for tonight's full moon, this pitch dark work suggest (to me) the stars in the night sky.
