Quilting history encompasses much more than the final product--it
is also the story of the people (women, men, girls, and boys) who
lovingly stitched these beautiful and intricate objects. Just as a
quilt is multi-layered, so too is the story each quilt tells.
Featuring nearly 200 exquisite quilts--plus family stories and
local history--this book provides a fascinating look at quilting
traditions in York County, Pennsylvania, from 1790 to 1950.
Included are appliquA (c), pieced, and signature quilts, fads and
novelties (including crazy), crib and doll quilts, and a special
chapter on quilt construction. York County's 250-year history is
reflected in the quilting styles of those times. The quilts
featured in this book include one made by the women of Bryansville
for a young Civil War soldier, a highly original one made for a
soldier returning from World War I, and an unusual one that
includes fabric recycled from a lady's bustle. They are among those
identified in the 1998-99 York County Quilt Documentation Project,
which recorded nearly 1,600 quilts. This exceptional book will have
immense appeal to all who appreciate the arts, history, and the
creative expression stemming from generations of talented quilters.
