Crazy Quilts, DMOZ and other Sunday musings

I’m trying to clean up a lot of loose ends today and one of them is to let people know that I am the new DMOZ editor (open directory project) for the Crazy Quilt catagory. I’m looking for lots of cool new submissions, so please “add a URL” if you see something that’s missing.

Speaking of which, I found this site which has another historical look at a family’s crazy quilts. There are photos of the quilt and I think Julie does a fantastic job of trying to trace who everyone is. I love the internet and it’s capacity to share wonderful items like this. HOpefully she’ll make more connections when other’s see it….maybe some folks out there who remember who all the people are. At any rate, the quilts are are really wonderful!
