My object of the week is this newly-acquired patchwork made c. 1804 by Birmingham writer Catherine Hutton, now in the collections of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Hutton also compiled a number of scrapbooks that I’ll be returning to as part of my assemblage project, and I’ll be keen to view the quilt when I do so.
Other CFPs, conferences, events and articles that caught my eye this week included:
The new Women and Gender in the Early Modern World Series from the University of Nebraska Press.
The Plagues, Witches, and War: The Worlds of Historical Fiction MOOC.
The programme for the Gendering Museum Histories conference.
