Members may make as many blocks as they choose. We would like for each member attending the meeting to turn in a least one block. These blocks are collected at the meeting. Members get one ticket for each block turned in, placed in a box for a drawing. The member whose name is drawn, get all the Block Party blocks turned in. If there are 24 blocks turned in, 2 names will be drawn. We could have MORE winners if EVERY member in attendance turns in at least ONE block. We Average -- 60+ in atten- dance -- that would be 5 winners!!! I have another challenge for you. Use the pattern to make the Block Party block. Then choose some fabrics to make another block each month. Keep this block. At the end of the year, you will have 12 blocks. Assemble the blocks into a sampler quilt and display the top in March. Everyone who show their sampler quilt from these blocks will receive a small gift. Or make a quilt using one or two of the patterns and show it at the March meeting.

It has been accepted for inclusion in DLSC Faculty Publications by an authorized administrator of TopSCHOLAR®. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Godey Quilt: One Woman’s Dream Becomes a Reality Sandra Staebell The Godey Quilt is a 1930s appliqué quilt composed of fifteen fabric portraits of men and women clothed in fashionable mid-nineteenth century attire. The dream of Mildred Potter Lissauer (1897−1998) of Louisville, Kentucky, this textile is a largely original design that is not representative of the majority of American quilts made during the early 1930s. Notable for the beauty and quality of its workmanship, the quilt’s crafting was, in part, a response to the competitive spirit that reigned in quiltmaking at the time. Significantly, the survival of the materials that document its conception, design, and construction enhances its significance and can be used to create a timeline of its creation. Reflecting Colonial Revival concepts and imagery, the Godey Quilt is a remarkable physical expression of that era.

  • 162 Hawaiian Quilts: Tradition and Transition. Reiko Mochinaga
    Museum Anthropology Review 1(2) Fall 2007 Hawaiian Quilts: Tradition and Transition. Reiko Mochinaga Brandon and Loretta G. H. Woodard. Honolulu: Honolulu Academy of Arts, 2004. 140 pp.∗ Reviewed by Marsha MacDowell In 1989 the Honolulu Academy of Arts partnered with Toshiyuki Higuchi of Kokusai Art to create an exhibition accompanied by a publication edited by Reiko Mochinaga Brandon (The Hawaiian Quilt, Kokusai Art, 1989). The exhibition and publication featured quilts from four Hawaiian museums and profiled the quilts of eleven contemporary quilters. With the addition of Loretta G. H. Woodard, the same team has produced Hawaiian Quilts: Tradition and Transition in tandem with an exhibition of the same name that featured 52 quilts from contemporary artists and 22 historical quilts drawn from three Hawaiian museum collections. Both the latter and the former publications provide a summary of the history of quiltmaking in Hawaii. What is different between the two exhibition catalogues? This time the team is able to draw upon the extensive research that has been undertaken by numerous individuals on different aspects of Hawaiian quiltmaking and, in particular, the work of the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project, a non- profit organization that, since 1990 has registered more than 1500 quilt patterns from thirty- seven public and private collections and more than 1,200 Hawaiian quilts.[1] The introduction to the history of quiltmaking is now enriched and expanded, including important newly-collected information that explores the influence of quilt shows, pattern makers, teachers (especially county extension agents and those affiliated with museums and hotels), collectors (especially Laurence S. Rockefeller), marketing of patterns, tourism, and the inclusion of articles about Hawaiian quiltmaking in nationally-distributed women’s magazines.

  • The Quilt Index: from Preservation and Access to Co-Creation of Knowledge
    8 • Articles • The Quilt Index: From Preservation and Access to Co-Creation of Knowledge MARSHA MacDOWELL, MARY WORRALL, AMANDA SIKARSKIE, and JUSTINE RICHARDSON Michigan State University Abstract: Quilts are resources for inquiry and instruction for many disciplines, foci for the development of private and public collections, and, increasingly, a visual expressive media that has meaning for makers, owners, and users. The rise of the Internet and the development of cyber-infrastructures have created the capacity to build and use digital quilt resources and to foster networks among quilt makers, owners, and users. This article describes the development of The Quilt Index (www.quiltindex.org), a digital repository of quilt and quilt-related resources, and situates the Index in the landscape of new directions for material culture study, a landscape in which knowledge and resources are now being co-created by those who find meaning in quilts as data. It suggests that making data more accessible, providing diverse tools for use of that data, co-creating knowledge, and providing structured portals for contributed knowledge is reflecting changes in how traditional culture is documented, understood, and used. The Object of Study—The Production and Meaning of Quilts in Human Experience Quilts, perhaps one of America’s most treasured and symbolic art forms, are also produced in communities around the world. An estimated twenty-seven million individuals are involved in some aspect of quiltmaking and use in the United States alone as are many more thousands, if not millions, around the world (Creative Crafts Group 2010). The purposes and meanings of making and using quilts are as varied as the individuals who make them and the communities or contexts within which they are made.

  • The Quilt Index: Collaborative Planning for Internationalization Michigan State University Museum
    The Quilt Index: Collaborative Planning for Internationalization Michigan State University Museum "The Quilt Index: Collaborative Planning for Internationalization" IMLS National Leadership Grant - Museums Library-Museum Collaboration, Collaborative Planning Level II Summary The Quilt Index is a model online research and reference resource featuring more than 50,000 quilt objects and serving a strong U.S. and expanding international audience. The Quilt Index brings together images of quilts, journals, ephemera, and detailed documentation data from museum, library, private and nonprofit contributors. Michigan State University Museum (MSUM), with the digital library at MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online, proposes to work with two U.S. partners, the Alliance for American Quilts (AAQ) and the International Quilt Study Center & Museum (IQSC), to lead a collaborative planning process regarding international institutions with quilt collections. Our goal is to identify and examine in detail the most challenging tasks for building a collaborative virtual museum across dozens of countries and cultures and design a blueprint for moving forward. This process will consist of detailed planning instruments and surveys, virtual workshops, and one-on-one consultation activities, all conducted through online and teleconferencing media. These actions will result in: 1) an extensive, online list of international institutions with quilt collections; 2) a published Quilt Index planning and application process specific to international contributors; 3) an overall five-year plan, plus a set of detailed plans and proposals that international institutions holding quilt collections can use to develop projects to contribute their quilt objects to the Index; and 4) a white paper detailing the lessons learned and outlining a planning process that will be useful to any U.S.
