A 'scrapbook of quilting past and present', an anthology of essays, reminiscences, magzine articles and stories about quilting. there are photos galore of beautiful vintage quilts, quilt gorups, and magazine adverts of the early 20th century. I liked the folk art of Warren Kimble and Rebecca Barker. A colourful book, suitable to pick up and read when one has time for a cup of tea. it would make a delightful gift for a fellow quilter. --British Patchwork and Quilting magazine

Présentation de l'éditeur

A patchwork as rich with history as any well-worn quilt, this now-classic anthology collects the stories so many quilts tell--tales of making do and creating beauty out of scraps, stories of starting anew and passing down a legacy stitched with the lore of ages. Bringing together anecdotes, essays, and memoirs about quilts, quilting, and quilt history, the book has something for everyone who ever pieced a quilt together or admired a quilters handiwork.

Ranging from the amusing to the poignant to the enlightening, the selections include historical meditations from quilting authority Merikay Waldvogel and best-selling author Sandra Dallas; hilarious pieces on quilting obsessions from humorists Ami Simms and Lisa Boyer; and a charming essay about passing on quilting knowledge from Quilters Newsletter columnist Helen Kelley.

Illustrated with a glorious collection of quilting photographs and paintings, vintage advertising and pattern booklets, this book is the quintessential quilters companion.
