Egyptian Quilt Exhibit at AQS Show in Albuquerque

There was a special exhibit at the AQS show, called Stitch Like an Egyptian. There is even a book with the same title (click on link) if you want to purchase it. These are all stitched by hand. There was a man sitting and doing applique on a quilt top. I asked him how long it takes to make one of the quilts. He asked which one? I said any of them and he pointed to the one hanging behind him and said that one took 3 months to make. These were all wall quilts, so no huge bed quilts here. They were all for sale too, with AQS members getting a better price. So many had the look of a Mandala or Kaleidoscope.
