I noticed the creamy, yellow "painting" on the tiles and wonder how that has lasted through the years. I noted that the tiles have remained in the floors for decades if not centuries and yet the tiles in my kitchen are coming off after 2 decades. I want their glue! And I'm under the impression that men did the tile work...so does that mean that women didn't really "invent" new quilt designs but we learned them all from men! Or were women weaving the designs into the fabrics on the looms back then and the men copied the women's designs for the floors? Just a thought...Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610078566703525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-43451199452597639872013-06-15T16:21:55.615-04:002013-06-15T16:21:55.615-04:00I have enjoyed the trip through your posts.

Then, as a way of tying their old lives to their new, they gave the patterns names reflecting their new surroundings. As these patterns were passed down from generation to generation, their original sources would have been lost. Could it just be coincidence.....Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169852279339168310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-38053093764049597862013-06-15T13:49:56.052-04:002013-06-15T13:49:56.052-04:00Hello Bonnie,
