Conference Paper
presented to the American Quilt Study Group, Lowell, MA, 2007
| 2007 | “Rachel’s Tat: The Extraordinary Teaching Collection of Rachel Kay Shuttleworth whose 18th Century Quilts Are Labeled “Please Touch.” Published in Uncoverings, 2007. During her lifetime (1886-1967), Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth single-handedly amassed one of the largest and most extensive private collections of quilts and other textiles in Britain and possibly the world. Her family humorously dismissed her obsession as “Rachel’s tat” (worthless rags), yet her legacy is now valued at $10 million and housed in an archive for researchers and scholars. |
