"Making 20th Century Patterns with 21st Century Materials: A Semester of Following Patterns Designed by Maud Churchill Nicoll" is an exhibit curated by Jessica Licker, Digital Literacy Librarian, Athens County Public Libraries, Master’s in Literary History, ’24, Rare Books Graduate Assistant, 2023-2024.

The exhibit features a series of rare books related to fiber crafting. These served as the inspiration and guides for Licker’s experiments with knitting and sewing from the patterns contained within. The items Licker handmade, everything from hats and scarves to a pillow cover, are on display alongside the books that inspired their creation.

The exhibit is open to all whenever the 3^rd floor of Alden is open.
