Customer Reviews

A wonderful showcase of quilts and quilters!

I think what attracts me to quilting (or at least the IDEA of quilting, since I dont' quilt) is its history and tradition, and the stories of the women who used quilting as a creative outlet. The quilts, and women, showcased here represent a real diversity - from Eliza's 1833 quilt and the "Feathered Star" pattern quilt made in 1847 to more contemporary pieces including a gorgeous "Crane" design and an incredibly complicated and unusual " Groucho Marx Memorial" quilt from 1977! Great photos and interesting stories. Not a "how to" but a "why to" book!

My Quilt!

Photos and stories about quilts and their makers in the State of Washington, from 1833 to 1989, published in honor of the Washington State Centennial. Jana (yours truly) and Martha Hollingsworth, with Groucho Marx Memorial Quilt, appear on pages 86 and 87.
