I'm speechless, so lovely and creative....
I knew nothing about this topic. I am off to watch the video.
wow! must take years to finish these, working on them every day! gorgeous
Just watched the video. Amazing. The men work so fast!
That is truly amazing! I can't needle turn at all and am just in awe of how FAST they do this. All are such beautiful works of art.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I have to go watch it again.
I am amazed. They are beautiful! I would love to see them in person. Thank you for sharing the video.
I stumbled on to your blog Via 3 other blogs on Quilts of Cairo, I also have always been fascinated by how HUGE these quilts are and the 1000s of hours that go in to making a tent. Interesting thing for me was when I saw your quilt I realised I have a small table runner that was given to me about 12 years ago by an overseas visitor, but I did not realise it came from Cairo, it is the same design as yours but very very much smaller. I have always loved this piece and have it draped over my camphor chest in my room that was my mums. Now I will appreciate it even more. Cheers Glenda Australia
