A New Deal For Quilts

The front cover of teh book, A New Deal For Quilts, by Janneken Smucker.

During the Roosevelt Administration’s efforts to combat the Great Depression, the quilt became an emblem of how to lift one’s family out of poverty, piece by piece. Janneken Smucker’s new book, A New Deal for Quilts, and the accompanying exhibition at the International Quilt Museum (October 6 through April 20, 2024) explore how the government encouraged Americans to create quilts individually and collectively in response to unemployment, displacement, and recovery efforts.

Janneken Smucker is a fifth-generation quilt maker, curator, and Professor of History at West Chester University outside of Philadelphia. Author of Amish Quilts: Crafting an American Icon. Janneken lectures and writes about quilts for popular and academic audiences. She hosts and co-produces Running Stitch, a QSOS Podcast, in partnership with the national non-profit Quilt Alliance.

 

Denyse Schmidt Quilts

My Bonny fabrics from Windham Fabrics are bonny indeed! Fresh and appealing, the colors and textures can be mixed and matched to create quilts and other projects with sweet vintage charm. Bonny’s floral prints remind me of the jumper dresses and culottes I wore as a preteen in the 70’s, and makes me feel happy! This giveaway bundle includes a fat quarter of each print of Bonny (26 different prints), tied with a button or two from my personal vintage collection.
