Bosna Quilts

Beautiful handwriting

27.08.2022

Every Bosna Quilt is quilted by hand. By eleven different women. And thus in eleven different handwritings. Over the course of time, every seamstress has developed her own script for the seams, her own repertoire of ornaments. Anyone who takes a closer look at the seams can try to guess who made a particular quilt. Lucia can do this with most of the quilts: «This one is from Sada, the one from Emina, this one could be from Camila, and this one can only come from Mirza Kozo.»
