Hi,
I went to this very interesting quilt show today at a local gallery. It
featured the traditional quilts of three differnt cultures and the stories
behind them. One was actually weaving, rather than quilting, but it is from
our local aboriginal culture, the Sto;lo Nation, one was from the mennonite
culture, and the third was called Ralli. Anyhow these Ralli quilts were so
beautiful, I had never heard of them, but they come from Pakistan and it is
traditional form and the history of it was quite fasinating, but the most
interesting things was how similar the patterns were to some of the
traitional quilt blocks from here. Also there was whole cloth type ones
with amazing stictching, as well as appliqued ones. But they were all hand
stitched. I have never seen so many stitches in my life. Anyhow it was a
different type of quilt show than I am used to seeing, but it was so
beautiful, so I thought I would share. The Ralli women make some very
beautiful quilts, well all the quilts were, but these were new to me so Im
all excited about them :)

Thanks for sharing that, Carissa! I wish we all could have seen such
fantastic handwork. :)

Thanks for the link. I had just made a note about Ralli quilts to
google for information. You did the work for me.

From where? Earth? :-) Geometry is mathematics, and that's pretty
universal. People marvel at similarities between this culture and
that, how some concepts seem to spring up independently on opposite
sides of the planet... It's fun stuff to observe, learn about, and
discuss, but a lot of it comes down to a simple basic: folks is
folks. ;-)
Enjoy.
