Summary |
From the introduction: In this book a number of quilts are pictured and described which possess interest from several standpoints. Some are remarkable for their intrinsic beauty, others for the history associated with them and still others because they seem to point to fashions or social customs of bygone days. It is hoped that there may be stimulated in the mind of the reader a greater respect for the needlework of the women who have passed on and also for their artistic ability which found expression with the needle and fabrics rather than with brush and paint or modeling tools and clay. It is hoped that the reader may be stimulated to pursue a similar hobby. Mr Dunton remarks about Marie Webster and her book on page 3, the second paragraph. On page 5 Mr Dunton mentions Marie Webster, Carrie Hall, Rose Kretsinger, and Florence Peto. |
