Where is that wascally wabbit?????? I'm gonna nab him at 1300, just you wait!

Good to hear there's some good news on the horizon, Tootler. Gotta take it where you find it.

I had the opportunity to visit Amish country in Ohio several times, mostly around Winesberg, Berlin and Charm. The Quilter's Collective in Berlin (pronounced BERlin) had some bee-you-tee-full quilts. The area has gotten quite commercial and rather kitschy of late, though.

The Gee's Bend quilts are special because they were made out of necessity. The women couldn't afford blankets, and they made quilts out of scraps because they couldn't afford new cloth to make traditionally patterned quilts with matching fabric. The abstract designs are intuitive. They are quite amazing works of art. In the film you can hear the women singing gospels as they work, so there is music woven into them as well.
