"Unraveling the Threads of Time: A Journey Through Quilts" Step into a bedroom frozen in time, reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s. As you enter, your eyes are immediately drawn to a captivating image of covered wagons and migratory carrot pullers camp near Holtville, Imperial Valley in 1939. This powerful photograph by Dorothea Lange sets the stage for our exploration of quilts. Intriguingly, we find ourselves transported back even further as we encounter a stunning quilt from c. 1860-65. Its delicate appliqued cotton tells stories of love and craftsmanship passed down through generations. Continuing our journey through history, we stumble upon tapestries from the 12th and 13th centuries that have been transformed into vibrant quilts through chromolitho techniques. These masterpieces showcase the artistry and skill that were valued during those times. A quilt from c. 1840-50 catches our attention next with its intricate appliqued cotton design. It whispers tales of long-forgotten stories woven within each stitch. Moving forward in time, we come across the Sunflower Stalks Quilt from c. 1885 - a testament to creativity expressed through cotton applique workmanship. As if stepping into an old barn raising event itself, a "Barn raising" quilt from c. 1880-1900 captures our imagination with its pieced cotton and wool construction; it speaks volumes about community spirit and collaboration. Another gem awaits us - an exquisite applique quilt dating back to c. 1840-60 showcases not only artistic talent but also serves as a window into everyday life during that era. Our journey takes an unexpected turn when we encounter Priscilla, an inhabitant of St James Clerkenwell captured forever in an engraving - her connection to quilting remains shrouded in mystery yet adds a touch of humanity to our exploration.
