QUILT
SHOW
|
Historically, the technique of quilting has provided many uses other than the decorative throws, bed and wall coverings so much in vogue today. Unknown to most, quilting had its beginnings as far back as dynastic Egypt. Not so long ago, people used a form of quilting to extend the life of clothing that had become worn out. Quilting was also a way to utilize bits and pieces of fabric to create something much larger, which eventually evolved into today's recognized folk art.Today, quilting has reached a high-level folk art with showings in museums and art galleries. Throughout the US, quilting groups and societies perpetuate a folk art form practiced in just about every ethnic and cultural group since our country's beginnings. The Olivas Adobe Historical Interpreters is proud to showcase the many examples of this art form provided by quilters such as Jerry Ferguson of the Camarillo Quilter's Association, and we are pleased to display images here of our recent show. |
