Once upon a Quilt

Past and present come together inOnce Upon a Quilt,a scrapbook of stories, essays, and memories that cel­ebrates quilts and quilting heritage. The stories gathered here reflect the cultural and historical aspects of quilts; set during the turn of the twentieth cen­tury to the modern day, they range from the amusing to the informative to the enlightening.

These pieces work in perfect tandem with an eye-catching treasury of artwork, which includes color photographs, black-­and-white historical photographs, vintage advertising, pat­tern booklets, and paintings from such acclaimed artists as Diane Phalen, Rebecca Barker, and Warren Kimble. Whether you're a quilter or someone who has a love of quilts and what they represent, this anthology of classic and con­temporary reflections on the patchwork passion will warm your heart and inspire you to reflect upon your own quilting stories.Aldrich, Margret is the author of 'Once upon a Quilt', published 2008 under ISBN 9780760333075 and ISBN 0760333076.
