Product ReviewsThe American Quilt : A History of Cloth and Comfort, 1750-1950 by Mary Elizabeth Johnson and Roderick Kiracofe (2004, Hardcover)

The story of history through the hands of American Women.

Excellent source for information relating to the history of quilting. The book tells how the art of quilting has given women the ability to document social and historical events through their eyes and hands. If you thought women had no voice or understanding of political issues then you need to look at history in a different view.

The women in America were not only ensuring the comfort and needs of the family were taken care of each day. These courageous women were instrumental in supporting the men that were responsible for most of major historical events of their time. It gives credence to the important role that women contribute in history.Read full review...

The American Quilt

I checked this book out of the public library and had such a wonderful time reading it. But being it is a huge book, I couldn't read all I wanted to read even after renewing the book twice. It is so beautiful book, in such excellent condition, and wow! what a great price. Thanks so much.Read full review...

A favorite reference on antique quilts.

A beautiful reference. Excellent photography and detailed information on collecting. I have over 15 books on antique quilts. This is one of my facorites.

It is a wonderful history of quilts. I was especially impressed by how to care for these treasures, how to clean them and store them.
