Mongolian quilters

There is a nice article about Mongolian quilters in Mongolian, sorry. But at the end of the article there are some photos. Please click on link and scroll done to see photos.

Ts.Selenge, a Mongolian girl, while studying in the States for her lawyer degree learnt how to make quilt. After returning to Mongolia she started to help unemployed women to learn the art and bring some income to families.

Various international quilters came to give lessons, now a New Zealander Kay Akoman/ Кей Экомен (not sure how to write the name in English) is giving lessons. After her lessons, she will sew 30 baby quilts and will donate to a Maternaty Hospital in Ulaanbaatar.

Mongolian quilters

From a tourist leaflet I found Mongolian Quilters shop.

This is what they do here some Mongolian women.

This is Davaahuu's work. She is making a Mongolian map wih mountains, ger - a Mongolian tent, camel.

In the shop they use a very old Chinese Butterfly sewing machines.

The shop was first organised with an Amrican woman's help.

This is a very Mongolian quilt with its traditional pattern.
