New Books!
Always new books and magazines to read! When you are a Quilter who is also interested in the History of Quiltmaking and the Women who made them, you buy every book available on the subject just to see if there is a quilt that you have not yet seen somewhere else! These two books, huge books, are wonderful! Photos are often full-page. In "Quilts Around the World" I found that quilts are made in some form in unexpected places. This book also delves into history as well as contemporary work "from Alabama to Zimbabwe"! In "Quilts:Masterworks from the American Folk Art Museum" are 200 of the most important quilts in their collection.....full-page....can see the handquilting! With books aplenty in my home, I'll Never be bored!! And another new one is ordered.....the new An Moonen book on Netherlands' Quilts which I am sure will have closeup photos of old European fabrics I've not yet seen!
oh the quilts around the world is on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that the new An Moonen book would be available from someone here in the USA...hopefully someday.
Isn't the Quilts Masterworks from the American Folk art Museum book amazing????
I think its my favorite book of the year.
