The owner of the photo wrote about it:
This photo is scanned. It is of my Grandmother taken sometime in the 1940's. She is working on a quilt, made from worn out clothing. Nothing is more American than the art of quilting.
I love it for a different reason than you might think. It's not for the nostalgia of quilting or for her apron. Nor is it for the composition or the crinkled print.
Nope, I love it because her counter is covered to the edges with crap.
I completely identify with Althea.
We have the same counters! Crap & all.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I'll be back.
