rehak OFFLINE Posts: 2783 Thank you received: 458	That was just amazing! Thanks, Rita, for sharing! We definitely didn't see any of this when we went on a tour to Egypt about 10 years ago. Like they said, the tour guide took us to a perfume factory instead. I would have loved to have seen these! (Especially since I'm not much interested in perfume myself.) Nancy

Zarah OFFLINE Posts: 1526 Thank you received: 30	Isn't it amazing? I loved to see how these men work. Funny, that you should bring these Vidcasts up. Last night I saw the latest of them and was thinking of writing about it on the forum. I follow them each month. Bonnie shows a lot of interesting things. Just go to Itunes

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	Thank you, Rita, for the youtube video of Tareq and Hossan tentmakers--not only was it great to see them at their craft but also to get a better feeling of the cultural aspects of how this is passed on through generations. Totally enjoyed it!

But she closed the article with the observation that they would not have gotten excited about sewing Barbie clothes.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	I wish I had seen them. Here's a little video Pam Holland made that is in the 'World Videos' section here on TQS. [url]learn/articles/[/url] I just watched it again and I wish she had got more of them stitching. I wonder what kind of needle it is that he is using, it's very long and sturdy looking.

anne1 OFFLINE Posts: 895 Thank you received: 103	Have any of you seen "The Tent Makers of Cairo"? I saw them at The Festival of Quilts 2011 they were the most beautiful quilts and all made by men. I think Bonnie Mccaffrey has some videos on her website or you can Google them. Anne
