The quilters rose up in arms! You probably saw one of the reproductions. (I still have the one I made.)

In 2012 our local Artworks in Beaufort, SC, produced a play by Grace Cavalieri entitled, "Quilting the Sun." It was about Powers and her Bible Quilt. I was asked to make a replica of this historic quilt, and with the help of a friend, pulled it off! Delving into the life of this remarkable quiltmaker was one of the most meaningful experiences I have ever had. Just think . . . Powers was born into slavery yet she accomplished the impossible. Two of her quilts are in major museums – the Bible Quilt in the Smithsonian and the Presentation Quilt in the Boston Museum of fine arts. Read Kyra Hicks's biography of Powers for the fascinating stories of how these quilts survived through the decades. What treasures they are!<br />Mary<br />Beaufort, SCMarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-16823098758443142172017-07-18T01:09:12.372-05:002017-07-18T01:09:12.372-05:00Hi Barbara, the quilt with the folded triangles re...Hi Barbara, the quilt with the folded triangles reminds me of an exhibition of Ukrainian quilts a few years ago in Vijfhuizen, The Netherlands. There even was a workshop so you could learn how to fold those triangles.

Sometime after 1973, there was a wonderful quilt exhibit in Newark, New Jersey, where I saw the Harriet Powers' quilt for the first time and was so amazed by it. Many other antique quilts were exhibited, and the show made a big impact on how I thought of quilting. I was a brand new quilter then, and the shows the Whitney display were my main source of education at that time. Along with trial and error - lots of error!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
