Womenfolk: The Art of Quilting
Womenfolk: The Art of Quilting Thanks to new information based on Kyra Hicks' research I've rewritten my article on Harriet Powers. Kyra's research uncovered something so amazing that you can't miss reading this. It totally changes our view of this famous quilter's capabilities.

Womenfolk: The Art of Quilting Best of Show at Houston by Caryl Bryer Fallert. Quilting today will become a part of history and this quilt is a fantastic example of what is being done with machine quilting today. I suspect when Harriet Hargrave did so much to make machine quilting acceptable at a time when only hand quilting was appreciated she never dreamed of what an art machine quilting would become.

Many of the fabrics in this quilt are from the "Gradations" collections designed by Caryl Bryer Fallert for Benartex, available in our secure Internet Store.
