Book Synopsis Texas Quilts and Quilters by : Marcia Kaylakie
Download or read book Texas Quilts and Quilters written by Marcia Kaylakie and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Violet Crown Award, Writers’ League of Texas, 2008 For more than a decade, Marcia Kaylakie traveled Texas from the Panhandle to Big Bend country, from the Piney Woods to the Gulf, discovering thousands of quilts in towns from Alpine to Austin, Dimmitt to Dallas, and myriad other Texas communities large and small. Hidden away in closets, trunks, and attics, the quilts Kaylakie found are not only heirlooms but also, owing to their histories, irreplaceable emblems of Texas heritage. This book showcases thirty-four quilts. Through them and their stories, the cultural development of the state unfolds. Most will never be exhibited or appear in any other permanent record. All Texas-made, they span the state geographically and range from the 1870s to the turn of the twenty-first century. As examples of what Texas quilting was and is as craft—and as cultural narrative—these quilts preserve a unique and compelling aspect of Texas history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From frontier times in the Republic of Texas until today, Texans have been making gorgeous quilts. Karoline Patterson Bresenhan and Nancy O’Bryant Puentes documented the first 150 years of the state’s rich heritage of quilt art in Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1836–1936 and Lone Stars II: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1936–1986. Now in Lone Stars III, they bring the Texas quilt story into the twenty-first century, presenting two hundred traditional and art quilts that represent “the best of the best” quilts created since 1986. The quilts in Lone Stars III display the explosion of creativity that has transformed quilting over the last quarter century. Some of the quilts tell stories, create landscapes, record events, and memorialize people. Others present abstract designs that celebrate form and color. Their makers have embraced machine quilting, as well as hand sewing, and they often embellish their quilts with buttons, beads, lace, ribbon, and even more exotic items. Each quilt is pictured in its entirely, and some entries also include photographs of quilt details. The accompanying text describes the quilt’s creation, its maker, and its physical details. With 16.3 million American quilters who spend $3.6 billion annually on their pastime, the quilting community has truly become a force to reckon with both artistically and socially. Lone Stars III is the perfect introduction to this world of creativity.

Book Synopsis Comfort and Glory by : Katherine Jean Adams
Download or read book Comfort and Glory written by Katherine Jean Adams and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quilts bear witness to the American experience. With a history that spans the early republic to the present day, this form of textile art can illuminate many areas of American life, such as immigration and settlement, the development of our nation’s textile industry, and the growth of mass media and marketing. In short, each quilt tells a story that is integral to America’s history. Comfort and Glory introduces an outstanding collection of American quilts and quilt history documentation, the Winedale Quilt Collection at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. This volume showcases 115 quilts—nearly one-quarter of the Winedale Collection—through stunning color photographs (including details) and essays about each quilt’s history and construction. The selections span more than two hundred years of American quiltmaking and represent a broad range of traditional styles and functions. Utility quilts, some worn or faded, join show quilts, needlework masterpieces, and “best” quilts saved for special occasions. Texas quilts, including those made in or brought to Texas during the nineteenth century, constitute a significant number of the selections. Color photographs of related documents and material culture objects from the Briscoe Center’s collections—quilting templates, a painted bride’s box, sheet music, a homespun dress, a brass sewing bird, and political ephemera, among them—enrich the stories of many of the quilts.

Book Synopsis Lone Stars by : Karoline Patterson Bresenhan
Download or read book Lone Stars written by Karoline Patterson Bresenhan and published by . This book was released on 1990-06-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time on their hands may have motivated some of the quiltmakers whose works are featured here, but Lone Stars Volume II reveals that artistry, love of beauty, and keen design and sewing skills characterize the quilts made in Texas since the 1936 Centennial. Beginning where Volume 1: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1836-1936 left off, Volume II presents 81 quilts that illustrate the finest work done by modern Texas quilters, using designs that range from traditional to abstract and experimental.Each quilt receives detailed attention in glowing color photographs and an informative text. The authors describe the quilt' physical characteristics-size, fabrics, pattern, method of quilting, quality of workmanship, and overall design concept. They also offer stories and photos of the quiltmaker and her family and the circumstances under which the quilt was made, when known.In their introduction, the authors provide a historical overview of quiltmaking in Texas and discuss how quilts have come to be perceived as works of art, rather than mere decorative crafts. This documentation and the on-going Texas Quilt Search that they direct underline Bresenhan and Puentes' commitment to preserving and encouraging this art. Through these efforts, they hope to encourage young Texans to "appreciate the beauty of quilts, value the inspiration, commitment and hard work it takes to produce them, and feel a sense of kinship with all of the creative women who have ensured that quilting does not become a lost art."
