The Age of Discovery by Setsuko Matsushima brings to mind the period of the Age of Discovery, "in which sea-faring European nations explored regions across the globe," at least that was her intention. Featured in Houston 2012, the "patchwork, appliqué, and quilting of Mariner's Compass patterns" were stitched "step-by-step with harmonizing images" leading "to a beautiful quilt with a historical feel." Explore this fabulous hand pieced, appliquéd, embroidered and hand quilted work and you'll discover new worlds of your own.

I am glad someone is keeping this kind of quilting alive--but not me.
