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").
Full-color and black and white historical photos, artwork, vintage advertising, pattern booklets, and more accompany the stories.
