Since the early nineteenth century women have been using their
fabric collections to make quilts, often using thousands of pieces
in a single quilt. These feats of perseverance and art were
newsworth and in towns across the United States they caught the
attention of the local press, which recognized the women and their
work. This book gathers these newspaper accounts of industrious
needlework into a chronicle of the work. Arranged chronologically,
the reports are accompanied by detailed photographs of quilts made
during the same time period. This visual record of the antique
quilts make it clear how painstaking and beautiful was the
quiltmaker's work, and why it attracted attention. Aficionados of
women's history, textile history and quilt history will gain
valuable insights into the quiltmakers' dedication to their minute
work, and the esteem in which their communities held them. Quilt
historians and all who cherish the art of the quilt will gain a new
understanding of the quilts and the people who made them.
