Quilt Mania

<p>The remarkable needlework and needlework tool collection of the Clothing and Textiles Division of the Museum of Texas Tech University is shown here in full color. Comprising more than 750 objects made between 1700 and 2000 this book showcases extraordinary and exquisite objects. At the core of this collection are over 500 pieces of needlework and needlework tools donated by Pat Grappe, enhanced by over 150 knotting and tatting shuttles collected by her daughter, Helen Grappe Graf. Included are pieces made at the time James I ruled England and the King James Bible was translated. The Museum has likely the largest collection of 18th century knotting shuttles held at an American museum. This book serves as a reference on needlework tools and provides an amazing glimpse into the dazzling tools used by women to create beautiful works. Curator of Clothing and Textiles at the Museum of Texas Tech University since 2014, Marian Ann J. Montgomery, Ph.D. cares for over 34,000 objects, likely the largest collection of this type at a university in the United States. Dr. Montgomery earned her Ph.D. in fashion and textile history/museum administration from New York University through studies in the Costume Institute and Textile Study Room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has been doing needlework since the fourth grade and is a member of the Embroiderer’s Guild of America.</p>
