Book Description | Beautiful antique quilts and a workbook of patterns come together in this lavish photography book for quilters. The 25 featured quilts from the Wisconsin State Historical Society collection are displayed in period rooms at Old World Wisconsin, the Society's outdoor museum of German and Scandinavian farm houses. Patterns and block layouts are provided for replicating each of the original quilts, and after seeing each of them in a true historical context, home sewers will be inspired to create their own versions. |
Editorial Review | Gordon carefully teases out the story and architecture of 30 quilts--all of them historic American folk art. She selected them to 'represent the amazing range and variety of output from American quilters over the past 175 years.' --"Milwaukee Journal Sentinel" |
