Description: | This is an example of 'Durham quilting', a traditional technique involving stitching through two layers of cloth with wadding in-between. 'Durham quilting' became more commonly referred to as 'North Country quilting', as techniques and designs associated with the tradition became practiced beyond County Durham. The circular design seen in the very centre and in the four corners is called a 'Weardale wheel'. The square-diamond pattern is referred to as 'allover' or 'filling pattern'. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1977 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Mrs Amy Emms | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
