NOTEBOOK

Quilts in the late 17th and 18th centuries were more than just textiles, they were a decorative muscle flex to show off the talents of the makers. Quilts demonstrated skills in colour composition, graphic arrangement, and fine needlework; some of the designs were so elaborate that they could take years to produce. These objects, crafted with so much care and intention, documents of a historical past that no longer exists, exuberant studies in colour and form, precursors to our current world of pixelated optics and imbued with the hand of each maker, are true works of art.
