Webster traces patchwork and quilting from antiquity and the Middle Ages through old England to colonial and pioneer America, where flatboats on the Wabash carried goods and fabrics west. She goes on to explain how quilts are pieced and quilted, and illustrates traditional patterns alongside her own floral designs such as the Iris, the Poppy and the Wind-blown Tulip.
One of the first books devoted to the history of quilting, still valued by quilters and textile historians. Download the free EPUB.
