I went straight to Quilt Treasures - I have two copies just in case I mislay one - and there it was on pages 35-35. Who would have thought it crossed the Atlantic? Thank you all!Little Welsh Quilts and other traditionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04740539581226906712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-20233461294637427502014-01-11T07:39:56.368+00:002014-01-11T07:39:56.368+00:00Hi Mary, I recognised your 'double-sided' ...Hi Mary, I recognised your 'double-sided' quilt immediately. It is English and was discovered during a quilt documentation day by the British Quilter's Guild heritage search in Grove, Oxfordshire. There is a paragraph about it and photos in 'Quilt Treasures of Great Britain'. If you are interested in quilt history this is a terrific book. It was published back in 1995 but you can still find copies for sale on Amazon or at the Book Depository. <br /><br />You might be also be interested to know that Di Ford used this quilt for inspiration for one of the quilts in her book, Primarily Quilts.<br /><br />MeghanMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553495942996474131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-24458843249549512962014-01-10T06:27:56.379+00:002014-01-10T06:27:56.379+00:00I asked the University: 'What exactly IS &quo...I asked the University: 'What exactly IS "analyze image", and what am I missing?', and got a prompt reply which was a bit difficult to understand! They said: "If you are able to install and run Java, you can access some basic analytical tools that make it possible to measure and compare or for certain objects one might graph information." And they attached a screen shot which showed some kind of toolbar with image-editing tools, above a picture of a quilt block. Java continues to be a small security risk, so I think I'll not install it.<br /><br />Dotabelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435435610527429193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-64440170618712151392014-01-08T15:46:10.609+00:002014-01-08T15:46:10.609+00:00Ann Oliver must have been well into her 80s when s...Ann Oliver must have been well into her 80s when she made the first quilt - most of the fabrics look 1820s.

As a retired US History teacher, I love our antique quilts, but my historicans soul has me following threads back to English and Dutch quilters. Thank you so much for "jump-starting" my new year's incdecision as to what quilt to make next! Yes, all sound information should be simple to access....if they want us to visit their web sites, they need to make them secure.....many in the US and globally should take that advice! <br />PS...yesterday it was 20* in Texas w/ an unknown windchill, and today my windows are open....piecing in front of them to the sounds of our winter birds.<br />JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012421762567429518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-51636133796460767802014-01-07T09:14:48.275+00:002014-01-07T09:14:48.275+00:00I went through the same process Abelian and decide...I went through the same process Abelian and decided not to go further because I wasn't sure of what I was getting in to!

I don't install Java on my computer, because there's a small security risk associated with it. (Java Script, which is different from Java, is considered safe. Java is not.) I sent an email to them, asking what "Analyze Image" was, and what I'd miss by not using it. Will let you know what they say.<br /><br />Dotabelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435435610527429193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-5341920797184211702014-01-06T21:43:08.901+00:002014-01-06T21:43:08.901+00:00Thanks for the wonderful link - what outstanding q...Thanks for the wonderful link - what outstanding quilts these are! so nice to see the fabrics close up and all the different elements of construction.<br />HildaEvery Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573090188337210419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256154936138771419.post-44068618151246737132014-01-06T19:29:35.540+00:002014-01-06T19:29:35.540+00:00Lovely work, the first one especially.
