Information on Grace Knott

Grace Knott in about 1935

Grace Knott was a real person. Born Grace Lillian Clark in 1889 in Northamptonshire, England, Grace learned to smock as a child in school. She married her childhood sweetheart, George Webb, in 1911 only to be widowed in 1914, 15 months after their son was born. Through volunteer work during the First World War, Grace met a dashing young Canadian Army Officer. They were wed in 1919 and the family crossed the ocean to settle in Toronto, Ontario. There her needlework skills led to the opening of her School of Smocking, which was later recognized by the Royal School of Needlework, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in England. Over time she published her designs, patterns and a book, and even appeared on television. Grace died in 1976.

Grace's daughter-in-law, Doris, joined the company right from school and learned to manage the workroom and custom order business so Grace could continue with her teaching and designing. Doris had a family of five and continued to work in the company. She eventually took over from Grace and successfully carried Grace's design work on. The company is now run by Grace's grandson, George Webb. Judith Marquis, a well-known Canadian designer and teacher of the sewing arts, has upgraded and revised some of Grace Knott's original smocked patterns.
