From Symbols to Text: The Language of Quilting Webinar + References

I recently shared a webinar for North House Folk School’s Fiber Week and promised to share the references for the quilts I talked about. Here they are:

The Tristan Quilt: Tristan Quilt at the Victoria and Albert Museum

Rajah Quilt: Doing Time: Patchwork as a tool of social rehabilitation in British prisons

Tent Makers of Cairo: Durham University Archives

Harriet Powers: Artstor

Old Swedish Quilts Book by Åsa Wettre

Swedish Quilts in the Context of the Hemslöjd Movement

The Quilt Block Card Catalog, a project by my friend, quilter Jenna Valoe

Quilt Pattern Collection, Center for Virtual Appalachia, Morehead State University, Morehead, KY

I learned about the Tent Makers of Cairo from a talk given by Sarah Nishiura and I learned about the Rajah Quilt from Many Hands Make a Quilt: Short Stories of Radical Quilting by Jess Bailey
