In 2014, a report by F+W, A Content + ecommerce Company, estimated that quilting is a $3.76 billion dollar industry in America with 16.4 million quilters (as cited in Quilting in America, 2014). These quilters express themselves by making quilts for themselves and others. Some of these quilts tell stories of history, culture, or current issues. These stories can offer insight into an individual’s life and thoughts. The use of quilting and other textile art can engage clients who may be resistant to traditional art media such as drawing or painting. To some clients, quilting may provide an opportunity to use familiar sewing skills and materials. Quilting and textiles have a rich cultural history that spans all socio-economic levels. This history and accessibility of this media can be an important component of a culturally competent art therapy practice. History of Quilting Few ancient quilts or textiles have survived; however, there is evidence that quilting dates back centuries. An ivory carving dated about 3500 BC shows a pharaoh wearing a quilted garment (Gillespie, 2010). A patchwork bed canopy was discovered in Egypt dating from 980 BCE (Roberts, 2010), and decorative silk quilts in Chinese tombs have been dated to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-221 BCE; Gillespie, 2010; Roberts, 2010). Mexican textiles have existed for over 5000 years, and between 1325 AD and 1521 AD, Aztecs wore quilted armor (Gillespie, 2010). A quilted slipper found in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) from 800 BC appears to be cut from a larger item of quilted clothing (Roberts, 2010) while the oldest quilted object is a linen carpet from 100 BCE to 200 CE (Roberts, 2010). HELD BY A THREAD 6 Old quilts do exist. “The earliest whole cloth quilt exists in Sicily and is believed to have been quilted during the fourteenth century” (Roberts, 2010, p. 145). The oldest known surviving colonial quilt, the Saltonstall quilt, was made in Massachusetts around 1704 (Roberts, 2010). Quilting is believed to have been brought to the United States by European settlers (Gillespie, 2010). While the quilt tops could be made by one or more quilters, the actual quilting was often completed during a quilting bee. “Quilting bees were usually festive occasions, opportunities to renew and cement friendships, to reestablish social bonds among women otherwise isolated, to exchange news and ideas, and to express feelings” (Hedges, 2014, p. 12). As pioneers moved westward, quilting moved also. Friendship and memory quilts became more popular. There was limited space on the way across country. “A friendship quilt was a useful item that could be taken on the journey to the new homestead” (Minnesota Quilt Project, 2005, p. 84) and also serve as a tie to home and old friends. Quilt styles changed throughout the years. Patchwork quilts were made from smaller pieces, and many were utility quilts used every day. Other quilts were meant to be special. Around 1840, the Baltimore album quilt with several appliqued blocks became popular (Clark, 1995). Crazy quilts appeared at the time of the United States Centennial. “Silk and velvet crazy quilts, overlaid with embroidery, commemorative ribbons. Metallic braid, and lace, were born of the comparatively affluent times of territorial growth in both America and England” (Clark, 1995, p. 8). From 1910 to the 1930s, redwork embroidered quilts, cross stitch quilts, and quilt kits were being made (Minnesota Quilt Project, 2005). A redwork quilt is red embroidery usually on a white background. Cross stitch is embroidery done with stitches that cross and sometimes as outline stitch. A quilt kit is a kit of precut pieces or patterns that are then used to make a quilt. Quilting has continued to be important. During 1933, as part of the World’s Fair called HELD BY A THREAD 7 the Century of Progress, Sears sponsored a quilt contest (Roberts, 2010). Twenty-seven thousand quilts were entered (Roberts, 2010). In the 1950s and 1960s, quilting became less popular partly because women entered the workforce and were unable to find time for quilting but returned in the 1970s as a means to express creativity and continues to grow in popularity. Quilting’s role has varied throughout the years. “But the reality is that quilts were, from the middle of the eighteenth through the nineteenth century in this country where patch work received its highest form of development, the major creative source for women” (Hedges, 2014, p. 12). Quilting used to be mostly necessary for clothing and warmth since many people could not afford ready- made items. Today it is mainly a hobby and used for creativity. While quilting is often associated with America, it was brought to this country by immigrants from other countries where the practice it continues worldwide. In some of the other cultures, quilting had spiritual connections. For instance, some people believe the feelings they have during the quilt-making becomes a part of the quilt. Quilting Across Cultures Cotton and quilting are believed to have originated in India (Gillespie, 2010). Many quilts made in India are made from recycled cloth and are intended for use in the home. Others are made as gifts. The type of quilt can vary depending on the region where it was made. Some people believe the quilts “represent intent” (Gillespie, 2010, p. 128) and “epitomize a connection that goes beyond generations and families and symbolize the universal connection we all share” (Gillespie, 2010, pp. 129-130). By intent, it is probably meant that the quilt represents something in the family history. In nearby Pakistan, Ralli quilts share the same patterns found on pottery dating back to 4000 BC (Gillespie, 2010). The link between the Ralli quilt patterns and the pottery suggest that quilting in this region may be as old as the pottery leading

  • Copyright Law and Quilted Art, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW PATCHWORK PROTECTION: COPYRIGHT LAW AND QUILTED ART MAUREEN B. COLLINS ABSTRACT Historically, quilts have been denied the same copyright protection available to any other expression in a fixed medium. When quilts have been considered protectable, the protectable elements in a pattern have been limited, or the application of the substantial similarity test has varied widely. One possible explanation for this unequal treatment is that quilting is viewed as 'women's work.' Another is that quilts are primarily functional. However, quilts have evolved over time and may now be expensive collectible pieces of art; art that deserves copyright protection. This article traces the history of quilt making, addresses the varying standards of protection afforded to quilts and concludes that consistent and comprehensive protection is needed for this art form. Copyright © 2010 The John Marshall Law School Cite as Maureen B. Collins, Patchwork Protection: Copyright Law and QuiltedArt, 9 J. MARSHALL REV. INTELL. PROP. L. 855 (2010). PATCHWORK PROTECTION: COPYRIGHT LAW AND QUILTED ART MAUREEN B. COLLINS * INTRODUCTION When is a quilt a blanket and when is it art? This question takes on greater importance as the universe of quilted art expands and changes. Once relegated to attics and church craft bazaars, the quilt has come out of the closet. Today, quilts are found in museums 2 and corporate headquarters. 3 They are considered to be among the most collectible "new" forms of art. 4 Quilting is a multi-million dollar industry. 5 Handmade quilts fetch asking prices in the tens of thousands of dollars.

  • History of Quilting
    History of Quilting When the first settlers came to this country they brought with them their quilting skills. New fabric was hard to come by, so fabric for clothing and for quilts had to be used and reused saving as much as possible from worn clothing. Thus the patchwork quilt was born. Scraps of fabric were cut into geometric patterns that fit together into larger blocks of design. Many of these patterns have been passed through generations, created by the ingenuity of our ancestors and traded within communities. Names for particular patterns sometimes changed as they moved from one part of the country to another, reflecting the environment within which it was named. (i.e. a pattern called the pine tree pattern in Connecticut might be named bear’s path in Ohio). Quilt making is an art form that both individuals, as well as groups of people participated in. From the lore surrounding quilt making we learn that parents passed the skills for quilt making on to their children at a very young age. The children would start with small patches of fabric, and learn to sew the very fine stitches needed for beautiful and elaborate quilts. Historically, quilting has generally been practiced by, and associated with women. This could be because the sewing skills needed to make a quilt have always been an integral part of women’s lives. Learning how to sew was such an important skill for girls to have that it was taught and practiced in the home and at school. Women of all classes participated in this form of expression.

Getting Started. Padded wear could be put on under armour to make it more comfortable, or even as a top layer for those who couldn't afford metal armour. For a time, the trend in wholecloth quilting was a preference for all-cotton white quilts. Obviously, quilting as a craft came to America with the early Puritans. Can I get hurt using a quilting machine? Playing on the word crazy they gave plans for "crazy" tea parties using mismatched invitations and other "crazy" themes. Wrap Up. This meant women no longer had to spend time spinning and weaving to provide fabric for their family's needs. In the lateth-century quilt revival, teachers like Elly Sienkiewicz repopularized the Baltimore Album style. Quilting in Modern Times Quilting has experienced a revival over the last 60 years. The wool wholecloth quilt was made in by Martha Crafts Howard. One of the most popular exhibits was the Japanese pavilion with its fascinating crazed ceramics and asymmetrical art. The story of a family was also commemorated in hand-pieced fabric. Essentially, a knee lifter is an attachable part that lets you control the position of a presser foot with your knee. Often these quilts provide the only decoration in a simply furnished home and they also were commonly used for company or to show wealth.
