Tapestries, Fabrics, and Quilts

Fabric arts have played an important role in the creative expression of cultures all over the world. Native American blankets, traditional African textiles, the historical tapestries of Europe, Indian saris, the colonial quilts of the United States, even vibrant Hawaiian shirts—each of these instantly brings to mind the people and heritage it represents. From the patterns themselves to the colors and materials used, each piece represents the heart as well as the craftsmanship of its makers.
