Welcome to our web
site!
Hello, My name is TINA age 36 in 2004.
I have two girls age 15 and 16.
so I had to be creative and entertaining at the same time.
(when they was little, now they help me allot
helping others)
Hope this can help you to explore your ideas and give you a
little help, if you need it.
Quilts have
long been descriptive symbols of America. The people, places,
and ideas from which they come and for what they represent are
commonly placed on American beds and walls and also
prominently displayed in museum shows and art collections. At
first glance, American quilts seem to either be traditionally
European designed or wild, miss-matched
patchwork patterns thrown together with whatever cloth was left
over in the scrap pile. At first glance they seem to be either
useful household items or prized museum relics. At first glance
they seem to be static representations of the woman and the era
in which they were made. Yet American quilts communicate a
bond between African American and European American women and
traditions, as well as a role within society, that often goes
overlooked and unappreciated. American quilting tradition
as it has evolved over the last one hundred and fifty years both
in terms of the physical patterns and quilts produced and in
terms of the role quilting represents in America Quilting.....
