this is from the wall of belonging in a museum (i forgot which one) in toronto, canada. follow the links to find a gorgeous block representing every place imaginable. i found this by following a link on a website called 'hanging by a needle and thread'. |
Honestly, these looked more like Scout badges than quilt pieces, but it was still fun to see them.
My favorites: France - probably my #1 favorite Italy - it kind of befuddled me to see a Victorian house like several in Philly's historic section depicted as representing Italy. I thought they all lived in villas or Venetian-style places centuries old Spain Vietnam Israel - though it always strikes me oddly to see Israel considered part of Asia. Since I'm of Semitic descent (discounting all those centuries my ancestors spent in Eastern Europe) does that mean I'm Asian? Funny, I don't look Asian. Ecuador Metis (Canadian aboriginals) - gotta love a canoe with a violin in it! South America was my favroite group overall. |

Thanks for the link butterflywing. Was a real treat to see what others have done and the awsome talents out there. And it is said that the art of handwork is dying. I say "pheshaw" to that.
