This wonderful treasury surveys nearly 300 years of quilt history, techniques, patterns, and styles. Originally stimulated by the desire for warmth and the need to economize, quilt-making evolved from an extremely practical enterprise into an elaborate and highly personal art form. From the simple, serviceable quilts of the early colonists to the work of twentieth-century quilters, this beautifully illustrated volume surveys virtually every type of quilt and pattern and details the techniques, tools, fabrics, and dyes. The abundant historical and practical information offers guidelines for establishing the age of antique quilts and provides careful instructions for cleaning and caring for heirloom quilts.

See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> This wonderful treasury surveys nearly three hundred years of quilt history, techniques, pat terns, and styles. Traveling all over the countr to conduct research and to collect quilts, the authors have assembled a richly illustrated stuc of traditional quilts. For centuries, quilts were an intimate part of family life, carefully constructed and used again and again, sometimes by several generations. Quilt making has evolved from a practical enterprise stimulated by the desire for warmth and the need to economize into an elaborate and highly personal art form. Quilts have the unique power to evoke the essence of the color and style of other eras, bringing history to life. Whether they are everyday spreads of common goods or intricately designed counterpanes of rare imported materials, these meticulously crafted objects provide rich examples of the tex- tiles and designs of various periods. Even those of the humblest materials often demonstrate enormous complexi. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM312-VG-7724
