Appliqued crocheted piece by Kate Clayton Donaldson Sold at Case Antiques I've long been intrigued by this photograph in the Library of Congress, which has been posted for several years without any identification. Lately, though, the artist is identified as Kate Clayton Donaldson who did the piece above. The photograph was taken by Doris Ulmann about 1934 for a series she did with Allen Eaton for the 1937 book Handicrafts of the Southern Highlands. Just what was in that cardboard box? And is the woman making a quilt? I now realize that the box is full of crocheted figures. She is not making a quilt but rather an appliqued picture. John C. Campbell Folk School,Hunter Library Digital Collections, Western Carolina University Catharen Clayton of Cherokee County was born in Kentucky on April 19,1870 and died on August 1, 1960 according to her tombstone and death certificate. Collection of the American Museum of Folk Art Her method seems to be chain-stitching motifs and then assembling them onto a small piece of coarsely woven wool or linen. A prominent tree and some free-form animals link the work to traditional Indo-European imagery. UPDATE: Dot commented: "The figures look to be made with a double crochet stitch, not chain stitch. Some of the wider vines are also one row of double crochet; others may be chain stitch." This piece in the collection of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild is 31 inches wide. Collection of the Asheville Art Museum She may have dyed the yarns in the figures and the backgrounds herself. Because it is "folk art" the thought is she was using "natural dyes" but the way the colors are fading looks more like the synthetics in the packaged dyes that were readily available in North Carolina in the 1930s. From a Brunk Auction Kate and her story illustrate a point about our attitudes towards the makers and the work. She is considered a folk artist but she was also a commercial artist. There are several origin stories about how she began creating her small compositions. John C. Campbell Folk School today. It was founded to teach marketable craft skills to local residents. The probable truth is that in the early 1930s she was working in the kitchen of the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, 10 miles from her home in Marble. Her grandson Hayden Hensley was a student at the school in the late 1920s, learning woodcarving. She had stitched crocheted figures to an old baby blanket and liked the results well enough to show it to the people in charge of the adult education center. They were impressed, saw the commercial viability of the small piece and encouraged her to make more to sell. Donaldson & Allen Eaton Eaton's mission was to link crafts and rural traditions to provide an income for Southerners. She met Allen Eaton of the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild, a cooperative marketing crafts. He and Doris Ulmann interviewed and photographed mountain artists for their survey in 1933 & 1934. That may be Eaton in the Doris Ulmann photo of Donaldson showing him how she works. The alternative, folky version of the story is that her work was inspired by "cow blankets" created by women in Italy. The caption at the Asheville Art Museum: "Many parallels have been made between the cow blankets of Granny Donaldson and the Po Valley fashion blankets made by women in Italy. In Italy, the blankets are used to proclaim the spirit of life and are worn by cows during festivals. Donaldson never heard of the Italian cow blankets and says that she didn't own a cow when she began her first blanket, although rumors still remain that she copied the Italian blankets for her cow, Bessie." http://www.ashevilleart.org/gallery/gallery-piece/cow-blanket-1308/ Another version is that she made an appliqued blanket to keep her cow warm. This piece of functional art was noticed by a passing art lover. The culprit in the cow blanket story may be a feature writer named Bill Sharpe, "Steeped in the Lore of North Carolina," who published an article in the Washington Star on March 2, 1946 with a few paragraphs on Donaldson and her cow blankets. In this story a passerby noticed Bessie the cow clad in a Donaldson blanket and the rest was history---or folklore---or what people wanted to hear about North Carolinians at the time. Do note another folky touch in that she is known as Granny Donaldson. How come men artists are never known as Grampy Bill Traylor? The textiles are fun to look at and there are a lot of them in the folkart market over the past years. Here's one from a Slotin Folk Art Auction in 2011 And the caption: "Farm Animal Pictorial Wall Hanging. c. 1980's. Knitted and hooked yarn on cotton backing. A few minor holes, otherwise great condition. 27" x 34"h. Provenance: Sally Cathey's Blue Ridge Weavers, NC, a copy of the envelope that Granny Donaldson used to send the work to Sally Cathey accompanies the piece. Est. $500-800." Didn't "Granny" die in 1960? https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/10128111_383-granny-donaldson-pictorial-wall-hanging Little Brasstown Baptist Cemetery Donaldson at work with a crazy quilt on her chair.

Sunday morning I played around with new stones thinking they were going to be grey but perhaps because it is the bleak mid-winter the stones turned a warmer colour. This piece is inspired by Mark's paintings of stones disappearing under water. He is brilliant at that. For both of us scenes like this bring up whisperings of summers spent on beautiful Georgean Bay. For those of you in Toronto don't forget The Artist Project at the Better Living Centre February 21-14, 2019 Mark Berens will be at Booth 506. Strips of plant dyed fabrics soon to become rocks. By Sunday evening I was happily couching away. I have based the background onto an old blanket and it is like stitching butter. The one thing about this kind of stitching is it allows for mind wandering and as I stitched these delicious rusts and browns my mind whispered memories of my beautiful Rusty Pups They are dearly missed As are their antics and adventures. And then as I prepared this post A photo demanded to be noticed So much like my new stones. I have a teacher who always says the piece you start next should always be informed by the last piece you did. Perhaps this means my next piece will have to be seaweed in the colours of my Georgean Bay stones. But I already have soooo many new beginnings just started! But my mind is flowing with ideas on how to go about a seaweed piece. It is so easy to have many ideas isn't it The days just aren't long enough for their execution! I hope you have a day rich in creative ideas.

Registration is now open I've always thought about how life can be likened to a road, it has straight stretches, but more often than not it also has many winding corners and mountain ranges. As we travel along our road, we also make many stops. Maybe it's to raise children, maybe it's marriage, separation or death. But, no matter what the road is like, we are often blessed to find some fabulous friends along the way, and some wonderful places. I wanted to make a wall hanging that reflected that in a quirky kind of way. This quilt reflects for me the road taken to my house and I would love for you to join me in this journey. The road to my house Make a delightful quilted wall hanging with me. This quilt will be unique and personal to you as it narrates the story of the road to your house. Celebrate your very own journey. Together we will use our sewing machines for some free motion stitching and a little hand stitching to add depth. Add a smattering of teabags, some vintage linen, an assortment of special treasures from your sewing room to embellish and you will have a wall hanging that's very individual and incredible. I will be there every step of the journey to advise you and guide you. Make your wall hanging the same size as mine or make it smaller. As we work together you can follow my directions and explore ideas generated in the workshop or you can be adventurous and put your own spin on your project, whichever road you take, remember, it’ll lead to your house. Play with fabric, step away from the burden of producing 'perfect' all the time. The quirkiness that you lend to this wall hanging will make it unique and a stunning piece of art. This workshop includes recycled new and vintage materials and will allow you to include as much or as little detail as you want to in the embellishing. All stitches are easy and I will help you if you get stuck with easy to follow directions, photos and videos. Work on this project at your own leisure, the wee stitcheries lend themselves to being popped into your purse and taken with you. Finish the hand stitching while you wait for the children, or at home while you watch tv. The class blog will remain open for an unlimited time. COST: $US55.00 START DATE: 11th September 2011 Join me for loads of fun in my brand new class as we share our journeys with each other. Feel free to take my class button above for your blog. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, I am always only an email away.
