Just read that Nina Paley will be selling her quilting machine next year.
Paley is a fantastic artist and feminist, who has made several wonderful animations and often releases work copyright-free so that others can use it.

You might have seen her brilliant dancing goddesses:

Anyway, I thought the women of Mumsnet might enjoy seeing her wonderful quilts, especially the 'prehistoric goddess' ones, while they are still there to view.
