Darning With Cloth and Needle...The Art of Crazy Quilting
In this project, Stephanie Miller talked to Ellen Schuler and Helen Louise Miller about their experiences and knowledge of Crazy Quilts. These quilts are not like other ones and are all unique and highly significant to the quilter and consist of numerous patches of fine fabrics cit into odd and varied geometric shapes. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009. Minimally contain collector’s introduction and analysis, transcribed informant interviews, and excerpted and labeled examples of oral, customary, and/or material folklore/folklife collected primarily within the Appalachian region. Most include also tables of contents, informant information, indexes (outlines) of interviews, photographs, miscellaneous paper items, and indexes of informants, genres, and geographic locations. Accompanying audio recordings (several minutes to 2+ hours). Transferred to
McConnell Library Archives & Special Collections from Appalachian Regional and Rural Studies Center, Fall 2013.
