"Oh Baby...We've Come a Long Way" a quilt by Laura Fogg

2005 Laura Fogg

Oh Baby...We've Come a Long Way by Laura Fogg uses a multitude of techniques and fabrics...from fused appliqué and free-hand thread sketching, to tissue paper, sparkly tulle, and novelty trims. She uses all of this to represent different aspects of the Women's Movement and shows just how far we've come to where we are today.

This quilt was on display as part of the Alternative Techniques exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.

"Radicalism" ? Oh dear--this person considers women's equality to be radical. :-*

How can she? This is mind-boggling. Also the only negative comment printed, I hasten to add.

You may not print this message, but I am making my opinion known.

Becoming part of the women's movement in the 70's was the defining moment of my adult life. After that, I married, became a mom, discovered quilting. But my head is stil free.

Good techniques and texture, but the radicalism behind it leaves me cold.

This is very well done - brings back memories of 1950's where we were told to graduate and type fast in high school! And if we had $ we could study to be a nurse, or a school teacher or settle for secretary if no $. Or, of course we could marry the boy next door and hope for the best. Now my g/daughter can be ANYTHING SHE WANTS!
Incredible changes. Love the work on this quilt and all the thought behind it.

I love the pieces of history she chose to incorporate into her quilt. Many of us can identify with these events and people. Great quilt!
