Quilts are bold and beautiful, treasured by family members, valued
by museums and collectors, and exciting to view. Exceptional quilts
were produced by the innovative quilt makers of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. This book features a spectacular array of quilts made
by Amish, Mennonite, and other Pennsylvania German groups, but also
spotlights significant contributions from the Scots-Irish
Presbyterians and the English Quakers. The quilts are presented in
225 gorgeous color photographs, enhanced by close-up details,
tools, accessories, and the people surrounding their creation.
Carefully researched text breathes life into these individual works
of art, and includes accounts of quilt makers that are as vibrant,
intricate, and rich as the quilts themselves. For students of the
distinct heritage of Lancaster County, this special book is a
fascinating perspective of families and folk art. For students of
the art of quilting, it is a colorful treasury of timeless and
elegant designs. This is the second in a series of four books being
produced by the Heritage Center Museum of Lancaster County and
Schiffer Publishing to provide extensively illustrated works on the
arts of the Pennsylvania Germans to a broad audience.
