Description

Exploring the remarkable confections of the Provenal women, "Quilts of Provence" illustrates the evolution of Provence's highly sculptural needle art--"embroidery from within"--picturing supple, small-scale corded work and quilting in high-rounded relief with decorative patterns revealed in the play of light and shadow cast by the clear Provenal sun.
