[edit] Many Uncited Factual Statements

This article is covered with facts and statements that aren't cited. Particularly the "History" subsection. 65.125.220.4 (talk) 00:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Updated Category

Hopefully this will update this category to a standard that is acceptable to Wikipedia. I can help you out in this category or any other quilt related items if you need it. Please feel free to let me know if something isn't right on my edits. Pickleweed 22:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dot points

this article reads more like dot points than a good wiki entry. Tagged.

[edit] WikiProject?

I'm thinking about starting a WikiProject for Textile Arts that would include all the usual crafts (quilting, sewing, weaving, knitting, crochet, lace, etc.) plus clothing and fashion design. We basically need to find 5 editors who are interested in contributing. A WikiProject would allow us to use tags to monitor the progress of our field, using the [[Mathbot assessments. We could also make common templates, info-boxes and whatnot, and it might draw other textile-enthusiasts to us. I'd be willing to get it off the ground, programming-wise; are people here interested in joining? Thanks! :) Willow 10:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lopsided coverage

I added the globalise tag to the history of quilting article because it features little but American quilting. This article does a little better, but not much. It is way too American-biased. 86.137.139.82 (talk) 12:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC) Also "traditional quilting processes" - whose would those be? American, by any chance? They're not universally traditional, and this should be pointed out.

[edit] Where's the pictures?

A subject like this needs more than one image. Rmhermen (talk) 06:48, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
