August 31, 2019 was my teaching
retirement day. After 40 years of teaching, I look forward
to participating in quilt events rather than presenting and
teaching at the venues. I will miss the interaction with
students and Quilt Guild members, who have been a source of
inspiration. If plans pan out, a dent in my fabric stash
will soon be visible, as new quilts are created! Thanks to my students for the opportunity to teach you and learn from you. |

Flavin's Quilt Study Essays and Papers | |
Alabama Quilts Flavin's essay - Early Log Cabin Quilts in Alabama is nestled in a chapter about quilts made at the beginning of Industrialism: 1875-1900. Viewing seven quilts Mary Elizabeth selected from Alabama Quilt Days, Flavin shared her observations of the block layout designs, color interaction and techniques the quiltmakers used. Each quilt had known family history, which is unique for typical Log Cabins from 1875-1925. More fabric of wool, velvet, silk, satin and rayon than cottons make the featured quilts unique and "dressy." Some utility Log Cabin and String quilts were brought to the Quilt Days made of cottons and old clothing. Find Flavin's elaborations about Log Cabins are found on pages 62, 90, 105-108.
