Uncommon threads : Ohio's art quilt revolution - Gayle A. Pritchard
Call Number: 746.46 PRI
Ohio’s long quiltmaking heritage prepared the way for the contemporary “pioneer” artists of the 1970s and 1980s, who, through individual vision and dedication, have created a new art form and added a new chapter to quilt history. Uncommon Threads: Ohio’s Art Quilt Revolution reveals for the first time the remarkable role Ohio artists, curators, institutions, and organizations have played in the evolution of today’s international art quilt movement.
Ohio is my dwelling place : schoolgirl embroideries, 1803-1850 - Sue Studebaker with a foreword by Kimberly Smith Ivey
Call Number: 746.44 STU
Rather than focusing on needlework techniques and the vocabulary of stitches, antique collector Studebaker constructs as far as is possible the story of the young stitchers, their families, and the circumstances that surrounded their lives. She begins by reviewing the early settlement of Ohio, why samplers were important in the era, and what makes Ohio samplers distinctive. Then she surveys the state county by county. Finally, she looks ahead to the Victorian impulses of the period after 1850.
