The Art Of American Patchwork Quilting

Posted by Rosena on December 29, 2008

The patchwork quilting has been around in America since the colonial times. It used to be that patchwork quilting was made from leftover fabric or was taken from clothes that were no longer usable. Now people are doing patchwork quilting for fun and have made it into a form of art. People like to use fine fabrics, and create detailed stitching and beautiful designs on their patchwork quilting. There are three layers of fabric in patchwork quilts. The top layer is considered the patchwork layer. The middle layer is used as insulation and is called batting or wadding. The third layer is the backing. All three layers are stitched together to make the patchwork quilt. Patchwork quilting has nearly always been used to make money at different charity events. When quilting first began, it was used in a fund raiser during the civil war. Now we see them in fund raisers for people, like leukemia patients.

Iran s Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressing the UN said things that betray his ignorance of protocol, truthfulness and history. In one breath he said I respect the Jews but made no effort to explain his previous cry to wipe them off the map. In a typically uninformed world view he asked why the Palestinians were not allowed to determine their own fate as it pertains to their own ancient homeland. Prior to 1948 Palestinians never used the phrase homeland and were not looking for one even in the remotest sense of the word. His contorted view of history ignores a 4000 year long history of Jewish ownership of Israel as do almost all Muslims around the world. This view gives new meaning to the clich don t confuse me with the facts. But here is a dictator who doesn t believe there was ever a holocaust. For all of the faults of the Third Reich poor record keeping was not one of them. The holocaust is without exception the most well documented slaughter in history...
