Once Upon A Quilt - A Scrapbook of Quilting of Past and Present, Margaret Aldrich, Editor.
If you like quilts and quilt history, this is a beautiful book to have. It is all kinds of stories and articles related to quilting; some fiction, some non-fiction. In addition to the stories, there is artwork, vintage advertisements, vintage pictures of people and quilts, pictures of old and new quilts scattered throughout the book.
A sample from the Table of Contents:
"Why We Love Quilts"
"Fannie and the Busy Bees"
"The Low Cost of Quilting" - a humorous writing from a bewildered husband whose wife has recently taken up quilting on their retirement income.
"The Quilter's Hall of Fame"
This is a feel good book, one that you might want to crawl up with on a cold rainy day with a cup of hot tea, a book to settle down with when the nostalgia bug starts buzzing around and your spirit needs a lift. The artwork and pictures inside makes it so inviting to spend a long relaxing time with the book.
It isn't an instruction book, there are no patterns or how-tos in this book.
Amazon.com has it for $14.95, the printed price on the back cover is $19.95 U.S.
Enjoy! Edey
