Wisconsin Quilts: Stories in the Stitches

Rating:
Summary: A full-color photographic showcase
Review: The collaborative effort of author Ellen Kort and photographer Stewart Wolfe, Wisconsin Quilts: Stories In The Stitches is a full-color photographic showcase of nearly one hundred exceptional quilts by Wisconsin needlecrafters, each with its own unique story concerning its creation and the woman who made it. Tying into the years of the Civil War, coping with disease, reflecting political upheavals and the New Deal programs, the stories of these quilts are as fascinating to read as the quilts themselves are beautiful to see. Wisconsin Quilts is very highly recommended for needelcraft and quilting enthusiasts, as well as students of Wisconsin history and culture.
