Redwork Quilt Documents West Texas District
A red work quilt, circa 1930, was offered to the Museum of Texas Tech University on which the words “Lubbock District” as well as names of various schools and towns were embroidered. The donor thought it was a representation of all the schools located in the Lubbock School District, but once others in West Texas saw images of the quilt, they knew it covered a far wider geographic area.
