Not very many prints. Do most of the people over there dress in solid colours?

Great post. Thanks for opening my eyes since I've never been to Poland. I'd love to see pictures of some of your quilts. And I agree about creativity when there is a shortage of raw materials.

Thanks. I also got that response when I went to Egypt or Tunisia and told them I was from Poland. "Wow, your English is really good." :)

I just smiled.

1. No. I'm not of Polish descent. My mom's maiden name was Gruetzmacher (German) and my dad Tillman which is Swedish.

2. They wear these kinds of fabrics for dressy events. Most people look pretty much like Americans though, they seem to tend wear dressy blouses more than I remember Americans wearing. It was hard to find a white cotton blouse, for example--almost all white blouses are extra specially fancy (and sheer).

Most Polish women do not sew nor do they have a machine.
