This Old Quilt.
"This
Old Quilt" is an anthology of stories and memoirs relating to
quilts, quilting, quilt folklore, and history that has something for
every quilter.
With stories set in time periods from the turn of the 20th century to the modern
day and that range from the humorous to the historical to the heartwarming, "This
Old Quilt" reflects the art and complexity of quilts and quiltmaking.
Contributors include "Alice Walker," "Terry McMillan," "Dorothy
Canfield Fisher," "Whitney Otto" ("How to Make an American
Quilt"), and "Patricia Cooper" and "Norma Bradley Allen" ("The
Quilters: Women and Domestic Art: An Oral History").

Wee Enchanted Garden Kit
For
kids who want to experience the magic of growing their own garden,
this kit is a fun and inventive experience. Paint the special
planter (three primary colors included), fill
with soil, and then plant the enclosed beans and grass seeds.
Then arrange the tiny fairy cottage, use the green
pebbles to make a tiny path, and decorate the garden with the
rocks, shells, and plastic animals that come with the kit. |
