Center for Knit and Crochet (\u201cCKC\u201d) is honored to be the digital home of the Maria C. Vallejo Lace Collection, Photographed by George A. Leinonen.\u00a0 This spectacular collection of more than 350 handmade textiles, collected over 60 years, demonstrates Ms. Vallejo\u2019s deep love for the crafts and her reverence for all the makers, known and unknown, whose skillful hands labored to create the delicate details in each piece.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The collection features wearables and home decor dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and encompassing a variety of textile techniques \u2014 knitting, crochet, tatting, bobbin lace, pulled thread lace, embroidery and more. The collection also includes a Yo-Yo throw, a kimono, a quilted blanket, and two antique sewing machines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

George A. Leinonen\u2019s dazzling photos of the collection allow one to view these textiles, all lovingly staged by Ms. Vallejo herself, at a comfortable visual distance, or to zoom in to see the intricacies of the handwork in each piece at an almost dizzying level of detail.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the artists and makers of these lace adornments for the wardrobe and the home remain unnamed and unknown.\u00a0 With scholarship and attention, we hope some of their histories can be recovered.\u00a0 We invite you to contact Center for Knit and Crochet<\/a>, if you have information to share about the pieces themselves, or the featured techniques, that would assist us with cataloging and identification.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
