Within The Frame combines academic research with active practice and preservation, honouring the intergenerational exchange of technical, artistic, and embodied knowledge inherent to working at a quilt frame.
Bridging the past, present, and future of this unique heritage craft, our project is committed to connecting the next generation of hand quilters with the nuanced historical contours of the artform. Our virtual library of resources and ongoing research connects quilters, academics, and museum professionals with archives, collections, and living practitioners. Within The Frame refocuses how we tell stories of quilting communities in the British Isles, while encouraging the creative evolution of frame hand quilting in the present.
