Border Prints

2005  Tortoise and Hare Border Print.  Designed by Nancy Barrett for P&B Textiles.  Printed in 2005 as a retired print.  18.5 x 22”.  Cotton 2005.  Two identical cloths.  Unknown source.

This piece of cloth raises third questions for me.  Even though I have looked it up, I am not sure how this is a border cloth.  Even more, I am not sure how the many hares and many tortoises here work together, except perhaps as a piece of whimsy taking off from Aesop's TH.  A third question seems to be answered on the web.  As I examined our cloths, I wanted to know how each level continued.  Of course I thought that our pieces each came from a larger cloth that continued the story of each level.  The web shows in each case exactly the piece that we have; apparently there is no larger cloth from which it is taken.
