Anthropology Quilts
How Models from Other Cultures Have Influenced My Quilts

Nasca Llamas
Nasca Llamas

Pam states:  Using examples from almost fifty years of quilting, I’ll show how ethnic influences have shaped the quilts I’ve made.  Quilts made in Appalachia and the American South, by Native Americans and the Amish and

by peoples from Africa and Asia have all influenced my work, in ways I’m still trying to understand. If you look at your quilts with an anthropologist’s eye, they’ll never look the same.

Pam Rocco is a member of the Pajaro Valley Quilt Association and the South Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild.  A regular columnist for many years in Quilters’ Newsletter Magazine and a popular quilt instructor, Pam Rocco learned how to quilt in Jackson, Kentucky, as a Teacher Corps intern in the ’60s.  She’s always loved the fabrics and quilting styles of indigenous peoples (broadly, that includes the people of Jackson) and often incorporates them in her quilts.  She mixes them up with fabrics from every time and place, and somehow it all seems to work.
