Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Collection in the Archives of Appalachia. Through grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Tennessee Arts Commission, and private sources, Broadside produced a variety of programs on life in southern and central Appalachia in the 1970s. Among the topics examined by Broadside were coal mining, energy and environmental needs and problems, land use, traditional arts, handicrafts, music, education, storytelling, aging and the needs of senior citizens, and regional history.
This footage of a quilting bee in Sulphur Springs, begins with Richard Blaustein, a professor of Sociology and Anthropology at East Tennessee State University, talking to a group of women sitting in a circle about the various aspects of quilting. At (8:55) Stella Deakins Sherfey begins explaining the process of making a Nine-Patch Quilt. The camera closes up on her left hand, where she is wearing a thimble on her middle finger. Sherfey then begins explaining how to frame a quilt. At (11:13) the women demonstrate the framing process, from creating the layers of quilt top, batting, and backing; pinning the layers to prevent slippage, stapling the edges to the poles, then rolling each side of the quilt tightly between the two poles; then placing the poles into slots on each side of two sawhorses, spaced the width of the quilt. The quilt frame is made to lock the poles into place on each end. Once the quilt is secure, with all layers tightly bound, the quilting begins.
