I re-read my post from yesterday, and couldn't help thinking, that you all must think I have lost my mind! LOL...
Turns out I went to this quiltshow in 2001 or 2002! That's a while ago :-)
These are quilts made from pictures of japanese manhole-covers, you can see the drawing on the paper next to the quilts....well, they are quite small!
There are several flickr-groups dedicated to pictures of manhole-covers, from all over the world: Japan and New York and several other places.
Who knew they were popular?! I sure didn't :-)
we don't have any interesting man hole covers, but I keep looking. Thanks for the lovely comment about my houses and thanks for the links to the manhole cover groups. I'm off to go look!
ReplyDeleteI learn so much from blogging! I had no idea that man hole covers could be anything other than ordinary. Thanks for the links! Now that I look at the ones on our street with an eye toward art, I do see that they look like enormous chocolate chip cookies:>}
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like these quilts. Thanks for sharing the photos of them with us.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteI remeber reading about those manhole cover quilts a while back, but haven't seen any pictures before - thank you for sharing them!
