Hello Tootler,

I'm sorry you can't make the trip. What a woild.

Does your wife know about the Gee's Bend quilters? I recently saw a show of their work in a museum, plus a film about them made by Jane Fonda's daughter, Vanessa Vadim. The quilts are quite unusual, with strong abstract patterns. There are now U.S. postage stamps depicting some of the quilts. The quiltmakers are getting a lot of attention. However, now that they are actually making some money, the women are giving a lot of it to charities.
