The Polish Quilt



 This is a quilt I made many years ago that has recently been getting renewed recognition. It shows various regional costumes and traditional embroideries of Poland. At the center is the Polish eagle, below it is a character called "Lajkonik," from an ancient holiday. The background of red and white triangles was adapted from a Polish Easter egg. The quilt is completely hand sewn and embroidered,  was shown all over the U.S.A., and has won several awards.
