West Virginia quilts and quiltmakers : echoes from the hills
Entry/Object ID
NK9198.5.U6.V35
Description
The culmination of a ten-year project undertaken by the West Virginia Heritage Quilt Search, this illustrated volume presents samples of more than four thousand quilts made before 1940. Among the highlights of the search are the discoveries of hand-stitched textiles largely unknown to the general public. West Virginia Quilts and Quiltmakers is a tribute to quiltmakers in every era, but especially to the women of West Virginia's past, who communicated their aspirations and affection through these creations of beauty, skill, and selfless labor.
