41. AFRICAN AMERICAN QUILTING TRADITIONS Thus by the time that early African American quilting became a tradition in and of itself, it was already a combination of textile traditions. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~UG97/quilt/atrads.html

AFRICAN AMERICAN QUILTING TRADITIONS Wahlman, p. 38 Loom house used by slaves on Melrose Plantation Interior of a loom house on Melrose Plantation The textile traditions of African peoples are less thoroughly documented than other aspects of folk art such as music, dance, or speech. However what is known can be traced back to the prominent influences of four civilizations of Central and West Africa: the Mande-speaking peoples (in the modern countries of Guinea, Mali, Senegal, and Burkino Faso); the Yoruba and Fon peoples (in the Republic of Benin and Nigeria); the Ejagham peoples (in Nigeria and Cameroons); and the Kongo peoples (in Zaire and Angola). Wahlman, p. 21 As slaves, and also their textiles, were traded heavily throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and the Southern United States, the traditions of each distinct region became intermixed. Thus by the time that early African American quilting became a tradition in and of itself, it was already a combination of textile traditions. The segments that follow are an overview of the general themes and patterns of quilting that have been influenced by African aesthetic, religious, and cultural traditions. AFRICAN WEAVE Wahlman, p. 26

BROWSE Volume 10 Issue 3 June 2005 HOME Home Quilting Events Quilting Links Advertise Subscriptions ... Sponsors visitors since Oct/2002. Welcome to Quilting in Wild Rose Country from Jacquie, Barrhead, Alberta The forty-four members of the Barrhead Country Quilters staged their best show ever with some 210 items on display April 28 - 30. Approximately 800 people attended the show. Items ranged from small wall hangings to king sized quilts. Of special interest was the challenge section in which participants each had to use the same three fabrics (pink, yellow, green), plus any other colors, in an item measuring no more than 25" on one side. more in the printed newsletter from Carol Penman Member, Amber Cuthbert from Amisk is planning a quilt for the Amisk/Hughenden History Book. Some members offered to complete a three block package - log cabin (an historical picture in the centre block), strip pieced and a signature block to help out. more in the printed newsletter from Carolyn Hagstrom I was honoured to receive an invitation from the "Fabric Stashers" to their annual retreat at North Bow Lodge this past April 22 - 24. North Bow Lodge is located along the north bank of the Bow River, 32 km southeast of Calgary. Fabric Stashers is a community quilters group who meet weekly at the Greater Forest Lawn Seniors Centre in Calgary. The group began the pre-retreat tradition Friday morning with a visit to Darlene's Fabrics in Strathmore followed by a stop at Country Creations, south of Strathmore. It was amazing to experience shopping with fifteen ladies who had smiles on their faces due to the quality and quantity of the goods these shops carry. Everyone came away with something they just had to have.
