I couldn't locate your ema...Dear Ms. Brackman,<br /><br />I couldn't locate your email anywhere, so I thought I would leave a comment.<br /><br />I am a graduate student at Rhode Island School of Design and am currently working on my thesis which deals, in part, with quilting in the United States. Last summer, I visited the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY to conduct research and saw the exhibition 'The Exquisite Stitch' while I was there.<br /><br />In the curatorial statement, Judith Schwender uses a quote from your 2011 Digital Newsletter [“The transition from whole cloth quilted pieces to patchwork quilted pieces began here [the United States] in the 1770s and ‘80s when quilting was fashionable and practical for skirts, bodices and waistcoats.”] If it's possible, I am very curious to read the rest of that newsletter to better contextualize the sentence she quoted. <br /><br />Might you be able to send me a belated copy of that newsletter? If so, It would be much appreciated!<br /><br />Many thanks,<br />Lindsay <br />LCarone@risd.eduAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781123922101773699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-76811803992717771232013-03-17T13:16:29.662-05:002013-03-17T13:16:29.662-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781123922101773699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-70966460441090848832013-03-14T20:32:15.796-05:002013-03-14T20:32:15.796-05:00Now we are learning how to search blogs and will b...Now we are learning how to search blogs and will be able to find things we have read in the past.... only thing is Google is doing away with reader and it will be back to the days of "following" 10 blogs instead of the 500 I am now following.... I don't want to tweet or thumb or other instant stuff. I like sitting down and reading with comprehension the blogs I follow.... if I wanted to tweet and be a tweet then I would tweet. I am going to miss most of "my" blogs.... whine whine whine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-67006837160321811972013-03-13T03:52:30.729-05:002013-03-13T03:52:30.729-05:00I instantly fell in love with the Metropolitan Fai...I instantly fell in love with the Metropolitan Fair fabric line, and decided to use pinks/reds, with the greys and blues!! It's nice to be working with larger pieces this time round, and the prints in the M/Fair line lend themselves perfectly in the 12" blocks!!! I love how the appliqued hearts/stars add a little something to these blocks too, and can't wait to start embellishing my blocks! I'm enjoying seeing what people use for their appliqued shapes too, lots of inspiration there, they all look wonderful!!!!!Merilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362688960778176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-9433637482907315702013-03-12T20:54:42.523-05:002013-03-12T20:54:42.523-05:00I've been looking for a new project to work on...I've been looking for a new project to work on with all my Civil War repros!

But you've made it more intriguing by saying she matures over time-- I never finished her diary because I found her so insufferably ignorant and judgmental. If her character improves and she learns to think of tbe situation of other people unlike herself, good for her, I'll give it another try. <br />suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885011551892500020noreply@blogger.com
