    Default Quilts of Latvia

    I posted photos from this years show in Ailse Craig Ontario in an album by the same name. One of the interesting features were the fibres used as they have great difficulty getting fabric. The pictures I included here are a coral sea made entirely from crochet. It was spectacular.
