Recovered!
Five Journal Quilts
Klara Schafler-Landesberg was hoping to recover her five journal quilts. They were in Houston during the 2005 Katrina disaster. The quilts were mailed in the same box as her entry for Tactile Architecture. That quilt was displayed at the show, but her journal quilts were lost.
Eighteen months later, the quilts were discovered in a storage box in Houston, still in pristine condition. Happily, they were returned to Klara immediately.
The five quilts are each 8-1/2" by 11". Each one is a different color of hand-dyed fabric. They are machine appliqued and machine quilted with metallic threads. The name for her project is The Breastplate of Judgment. To the right is a sketch of how she intended to display her journal quilts.
