On the Day of Demonstrations, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with a dear old friend from art school Adriane Bovone, who brought some beautiful quilts she had made. One utilized fabric overages from a neighborhood upholsterer. The other was comprised of muslins used by her Western-clinical-herbalist partner to strain finished tincture out of infused medicinal plants. (200 different plants in his pharmacy = 200 different natural plant dyes!). I loved the idea of this medicinal healing quilt, which was made in the Log Cabin quilt pattern.
