Barbara Brackman

Barbara Brackman, Quilt Scholar and Author Quilts and women's history are central to all my projects. My special focus is dating antique quilts and an accurate history of quilts associated with the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. I view my webpage as a place to learn more about antique quilts, museum exhibits featuring them, and my projects. See my Exhibits & Events Page for a list of museum quilt shows featuring antique quilts. I've retired from teaching and lecturing. I realized I had a lot of books to write that weren't getting done while I was traveling, but I do continue to teach with online clubs. See my C&T eClubs below and click here for more information about my 2010 subscription newsletter Quilt Detective: "Prints, Colors & Dyes". I also have a blog: Barbara Brackman's Material Culture that focuses on fabric---past and present. It's a place to give you more information on things like the sources for my reproduction prints, ideas that may pan out some day, short essays on fabric and quilt history, and pictures of my dog Dorothy Barker.
