Crazy Quilt
by Gordon Snidow
| My heritage is the farm country of Missouri. My mother's
family was numerous , they were all farmers. In the days of no electricity or
indoor bathrooms, quilts were made by the farm women to warm and beautify beds.
Nothing was wasted, recycling was a necessity. My aunt made a quilt for me in
the late seventies. I thought it was one of the most beautiful art objects I had
ever seen. After creating the painting, I visited Missouri. I found the
quilt was made from many pieces of material taken from the worn-out clothes of
my cousins, aunts, and uncles. It became a quilt of memories for them and a
quilt of family history for me.
