*International Quilt Study Center
The collections search page at the International Quilt Study Group has a great feature I just noticed. After clicking on the red link, scroll down through Advanced Search almost near the bottom. See a menu item labeled Exhibitions and open up the list. Click on any of them, say: "Abstract Design in American Quilts." The quilts featured in that 1971 exhibit will come up and you can enjoy the show.

*Museum of Fine Arts Boston
This Museum has a strong quilt collection, most of which are rarely published. Type quilt in the advanced search box on the top right.

*Spencer Museum of Art
The Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas now has an online catalog where you can view the quilt collection. Type the word quilt in the search box and over 1,000 objects will come up including blocks from the Carrie Hall collection. For years I've been their volunteer quilt curator so I am thrilled we can share this notable group of quilts, which includes many early quilts such as the "Orange Peel" or "Compass" quilt with a ruffle on the left. And on that search page note one of the museum's other treasures: a painting of Jane Morris by Dante Gabriel Rossetti called La Pia de Tolommei.

*Winterthur Museum
A spectacular quilt collection now online.

Fashion Museum in Bath
The Fashion Museum in Bath, England has a website with collections online. If you're in Bath this year (and don't you wish you were) make plans to go to the Museum in the Assembly Rooms where Dresses From History will be on exhibit all year featuring 13 dresses and ensembles from the Georgian, Regency and Victorian period.

George Eastman House
George Eastman House, a photography museum of in Rochester, New York, has added a database of their photos to Flickr.com's feature "The Commons," which features an enormous group of historical photographs. Click here to see the George Eastman House photos organized into sets. My favorite is the Southworth and Hawes set of mid-19th-century pictures of Bostonians. Another way to wile away the hours is to go to the Flickr.com search page and type in the word Woman. You can try searching for Quilt but hardly any pictures show up YET. Click here Flickr.com.

Gone to the Dogs
This is still my all-time favorite website graphic. It's for a British comedy called "Gone to the Dogs." But the best part of the site is the game that tells you what kind of dog you would be. Click the tiny black icon above the word "Trailers" on the right. After you answer each question, don't forget to click the "Next Question" button on the right.

Helle Jorgensen
Australian Helle Jorgensen crocheted a coral garden. See also: her Rubbish Vortex, and other items she creates from plastic bags.

Knitta
I am totally enthralled with guerilla knitting, particularly Knitta. Click on the gallery and wait for it to load. You can see similar images by typing the words Microfiber Militia in a search engine.

Maira Kalman's "And the Pursuit of Happiness"
This New York Times blog sets new standards for fussing with the art on your blog. The posts are hand painted. And thought-provoking.

Museum of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art
It's a textile site; it's a science site. It's an odd choice for subject matter.
