The Welsh Quilt Centre's 2012 Exhibition open from
10 March until 3 November 2012 A Quilted Bridge The Amish-Welsh Connection |
||
| Here is a fantastic opportunity to see and compare these two historic quilting traditions. Side by side are hung stunning antique American Amish quilts and the fabulous, strong early geometric flannel patchworks from Wales. Two communities, Welsh and Amish, both independent, non-conformist, plain living people, arrived in America on the immigrant ships at much the same time. They settled and, in Pennsylvania and Ohio, became neighbours. Were the similarities in their quilt designs due to influence or just coincidence? Come and decide for yourself. | |||
