Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Quilts are a reflection of the people who make, use, and cherish them through the years. John Rice Irwin has personally conducted interviews with hundreds of old-time quiltmakers, some of whom were over one hundred years old. Detailed photographs taken by Pulitzer Prize winner Robin Hood depict an opulent conglomeration of quilts, from the community quilt which became known as the Murder Quilt. More importantly, Irwin looks under the quilts, at the lives of the people who created and used them. He explores their ambitions and aspirations, their struggles and disappointments. From the young ladies of Salem Valley who pieced a quilt for the town's most eligible bachelor in the hope that one of them would sleep under it, to the retired physician who began quilting in his late sixties to fill his spare time, Irwin presents their stories with compassion and candor. This lavishly illustrated volume is a treasure trove of creative needlework, colorful anecdotes, and intriguing personal histories which will entertain readers of all ages. Quilts are a reflection of the people who made, used, and cherished them through the years. The author has interviewed hundreds of old-time quilters, some of whom were over one hundred years old. The interviews are accompanied by a rich selection of photographs. Emphasis is placed on quilts and quilters in the Southern Appalachian region, but quilts from throughout America are included. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780916838874
