| dc.description.abstract | This thesis project examines themes of femininity, kinship relations, material tradition, and fiber arts within the broader history of quilting in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I analyze how female familial relationships, stories and memory, and history are carried on through the long-standing tradition of quilting, as well as the central tenets of womanhood that have historically been represented and expressed through quilt making. Although there are many important differences between the 1930s and the 2020s, modern quilters still share several experiences with 20th century quilters, often simply using updated technology. The project includes a material component to address the techniques, patterns, and styles used in historic quilting. These ideas are of interest to many overlapping groups of people, including women and those in the feminist movement; anyone in the fiber arts community; and those interested in the material culture of the 20th century PNW, including anthropologists studying historical archaeology. | en_US |
