Taos Link - Link to businesses in Taos

Long time Taos resident Patrick J. Finn, a textile specialist, photographer and writer, has been residing in India for some years writing a definitive study of Indian quilts under a grant from the University of Nebraska. In this book, Patrick Finn’s tireless fieldwork shows us how many of these traditions continue today, in some places as a result of the efforts of inspiring individuals who have kept traditions alive or revived old ones, but in others as part of an unbroken history of quilt-making and use. After traveling throughout India with him on his quest, we can share in his amazement and delight at arriving at a village to find a host of quilts laid out for airing in the sun, as if the villagers knew he was coming.
