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.
