Описание к видео Teri Klassen, Vernacular Design Methods Of Tennessee Delta Quilts (2015)

Teri Klassen discusses improvisation among quilters of both African and Scotch Irish descent in the Brownsville area, historically an intersection of plantation and yeoman-sharecropper cultures. Working with 32 consultants, she documented local quilt history and surviving quilts, from fancy “bedspread” quilts of the wealthy to those made for use in households of more modest means. Improvisation was most often evident in these quilts made for use, which often incorporated traditional design formulas such as the African-American “variable shell.” Klassen is the author of Tennessee Delta Quiltmaking.
