Take a sentimental journey back in time and read "The Quilt" in the Winter 2001 edition of Slovakia, A Slovak Heritage Newsletter, to be published in early December. Written by Lynn Summers, the short essay reflects on quilting, as seen through a child's eyes.

Also check out the Summer 2001 issue for the article "Who are the Gorals?"   Paul Bingham follows it up in the Fall issue with some interesting facts as well. For subscription information, contact Helene Cincebeaux at helenezx@aol.com

"Culture: Slovakia and Moravia"

Take a sneak peak at Helene Cincebeaux's presently-under-construction website www.helenezx.homestead.com. Along with photographs of beautiful costumes, the site is expected to contain cultural information of the Slovak and Moravian people. Having made numerous trips to eastern Europe, Helene and her mother, Helen Baine, have developed an incredible network of "cousins" who live there, in addition to an in-depth understanding of their cultures.
