The United Kingdom Quilt Collections section of this Wiki has so many museums listed, that we have given the UK its own page. On the United Kingdom Quilt Collections page, you'll find entries grouped by England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. For documentation projects (not museum collections) from the UK, please see instead our United Kingdom page.

Exhibition: Inlaid Patchwork in Europe

Many of the collections listed here are listed in the book Tuchintarsien in Europa von 1500 bis heute / Inlaid Patchwork in Europe from 1500 to the Present by Dagmar Neuland-Kitzerow, Salwa Joram, and Erika Karasek (2009).

This exhibition of inlaid textiles features significant examples from 1500 to the present. Horsemen, blossoms, animals, religious stories and spray painted stencil images unfold as a baroque pictorial cosmos on tapestries and covers.

All these objects are made in a textile intarsia (inlaid patchwork) technique, ornamented and refined by additional textile techniques. The works are pictorial, straddling the boundary between art and craft. The exhibition is organised by the Museum Europäischer Kulturen, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. It was on display at Leeds Museum and Art Gallery in fall 2010.

Suggestions for Using this Wiki

Clicking on the name of a museum takes you to the page about that museum's quilt collections.

If the name of the museum appears in purple, this means that someone has created a page for that institution. Follow the link, and feel free to edit and add to the page. If the name of the museum appears in red, a page for the museum has not yet been created. Please help the Quilt Index by clicking the red link and adding information (the new page will be created automatically when you click the 'save' button.)

PLEASE do not alter the names of any titles appearing in purple without consulting the Quilt Index staff--doing this breaks links and makes it impossible to navigate to the page!!!
