My first stop today was at the art museum–four of us from my lab decided that we hadn’t been to the Philadelphia Museum of Art recently enough, so we took advantage of the pay-what-you-want rates for Sunday. This quilt, from ~1890 if I recall correctly, was made entirely from ribbon. (Note to self: learn to quilt, and then learn to weave ribbons.)
The pansies and baby maple leaves are from my roundabout walk home.

The thought of working with all that ribbon makes me want to alternated laugh and weep. At least the scraps wouldn’t fray along the selvages.
