Although quilts have been around for hundreds of years, it took the necessities of the New World to bring quilts of life. They were invented by creative Colonial women who needed warm coverings for their families but whose only source of fabric was often a bag of leftover materials and salvaged bits from worn-out clothes. As they worked, the patterns they evolved became a source of beauty and often a historical document on what was happening at the time. The 2,400 patterns. show the variety and artistic merit of American quilt patterns, a credit to the ingenuity of our ancestors." . First Printing of the First Edition. Oversize Softcover.

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
