April 12th, 2008 3:54 PMEnjoy...
I used pictures from my trip to France for this task becuase they have some stunning stained glass. In the picture of stained glass at Notre Dame de Paris there are biblical stories, this picture is of the north rose window. The window is dedicated to the Old Testament with mostly violet shades of glass, and it has kept more of its original glass than any other at Notre Dame. (It was so hard to find even that much information on fricken rose windows or Notre Dames stained glass)
For the second documentation of documents, here is my families lineage written on a quilt that my grandma made it goes as far back as my great great grandparents and as far forward as the current generation(which would be me). Each neuclear family has their own block for example my parents, sister, and i all are on the same block. and each person has their date of birth under their name, or if they are married then they have the date of their marriage under their names. this way you can tell who belongs to what part of the family. but we are not connected like a family tree would be connected. And as new people (babies and marriges)are added to the family they are also added to the quilt.

That quilt is neat. May I see more?
I'd like more of the same quilt please. In particular I'd like to see how the quilt works as a document. You showed to small areas where there are names, but you didn't show how (or if) the quilt relates the names to one another... does placement show chronological placement or placement within the family structure or are names simply places where they will next fit? That sort of thing.
This proof was un-submitted - any comments before this one are from before the un-submit.
Looks good but I´d appreciate more details.
