Item Description
Calling all quilters! This pair of signed books by Pamela Weeks is a must-have on your bookshelf.
Portable Patchwork is the only illustrated history of 19th-century potholder quilts, their origins, and the women who made these quilts. Based on research ranging from the women's diaries, to finds at quilt auctions, to clues shared by worldwide quilter chat groups, Portable Patchwork tells stories about the origins of this technique and the creative women who made or owned the quilts.
Civil War Quilts, is a must-read for Civil War enthusiasts and quilters seeking accurate information on reproducing Civil War quilts. 2nd edition. This copy is author-signed. The stories of fourteen extraordinary Civil War quilts, and the women who made them, bring you face-to-face with the drama of war and its effect on thousands of lives. Some of these quilts tell love stories, others relate the determination of women seeking an active role in the war effort, but all represent efforts to support the fighting men. Each of these quilts tells stories of struggle and survival.
Civil War Quilts contains patterns and information for making "block by block" or "potholder" quilts, with 40 traceable quilt block patterns with templates for hand piecing or rotary cutting for machine piecing. Also included is information on reproduction fabrics and how to participate in modern soldier-related community service quilting.
Pamela Weeks is the Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum located in Lowell, MA.
