I am enjoying some time in Colorado, visiting my children, working on a quilt

and hopefully skiing when I get adjusted to the altitude.  I went to the Rocky

Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden yesterday and saw a nice exhibit of 19th

century quilts from the collection of Jeananne Wright.  There were 20 quilts

and a little personal history of each.  I especially enjoyed seeing the "Pea

Ridge Lily" quilt that is featured in Brackman's Civil War book. 

There was also a smaller exhibit of art quilts upstairs by a group named the

Piecemakers, very interesting.  Both exhibits run through April 3. 

Also went by Primedia Publications (formerly Leman).  They do still have the

central gallery but not the store (used to be Quilts & Other Comforts).  The

receptionist said they moved to Missouri where they purchased Clotilde.

Announcing - Interesting magazine article by QHL Member

Issue 36 (February 1999) of American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine

from Better Homes and Gardens contains a very interesting and

informative article about Anne Orr written by QHL member Merikay

Waldvogel.  The article is very well written, the pictures are very

beautiful, and you will learn about a very  interesting and talented

lady.  Even if your primary interest is 19th century quilts, the article

is very worthwhile, and if you like 20th century quilts, it is must

reading.  Congratulations, Merikay for being published and thank you for

sharing more of your accumulated knowledge with us.

Denise,

Thanks for the extensive information on the book "Hidden in Plain

View...."!!! I preordered a copy a few weeks ago and look forward to

getting it. Your information confirmed my decision to buy it as I am

sure it will be excellent.

Here is one in German that I just cannot get to make sense by using German

Dictionary or the web pages.  This is on a Splash.

Maybe someone who can read German can tell me about this.  Thanks, Toni

Hello All,

While we are still exploring foreign words on textiles, I have one that I've

been puzzling over for a while.  It's an embroidered linen towel with lovely

shaded red roses.  The lettering is shaded and outlined above the floral

spray.

It reads:  Dzien   (umlaut above the n)

                dobry

The towel folds over and a very ornate letter "D" is centered to show on the

bottom  I read somewhere about decorative cover towels used for show to cover

everyday towels.

I showed this item to a friend from Germany who says it is not German (my

first guess), but an eastern European tongue.

I tried the web translating sites that were offered on the list, but had no

luck.  Does anyone have a guess as to which language this may be?

All input welcome!!

Thanks,

Kathi in cool (weather-wise) Calif.

Yes, congratulations Merikay on your article! I read it

before I joined this list, and I really did learn a lot from

it. I am new here, and new to the world of quilt history.

I will go back to observing and learning!  :-)

Hi -- I'm new to the QHL lists and have been having a fun time lurking.  I'm

on the digest so I won't be getting back to people immediately.

I was beat to the Hungarian, however --<g> my DH speaks a few Slavic

languages and he was pretty sure that it was Hungarian as there were no

words in there that HE recognized.  It was nice to have the exact

translation!

On to my question:  I have P&B's Oakland Musuem repro fabric and would like

to do something special for my DH, who is from CA -- but am having a blank

with "blocks" from CA.  I'm overseas at the  so my only reference materials

are my own quilting books and the internet, which unfortuntely for once, has

been less than helpful.  I've only been able to come up with Rocky Road to

California, California Rose (whig rose variation, I think) and there was a

mention in one book of California Oak (no pic, though).  Does anyone else

have anything they could look through for me?  Also, I searched and searched

for hours  on the www for some book on California State quilt search project

(or whatever they call them) but couldn't find anything.  The only thing I

did find was a mention of Jean Ray Laury's book "Ho for California ...." but

can't find anywhere to order it, even on Amazon.  I don't have the exact

title, either.  Help!, and thanks!
