*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover with 192 pages Published by: Good Books October 1989 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0934672741 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0934672740 Book Dimensions: 12 x 9.4 x 0.7 inches Weighs: 2.3 pounds *Product Review* "Granick has taken the quilts--many of which look op-art modern--out of the realm of the strictly artistic and given them a history." -The Philadelphia Inquirer "Tradition and photography are artfully intertwined in this highly accomplished book." --Antiques Today *Product Description* This deluxe, authoritative work by a leading expert on Amish quilts has become a classic. The text is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject ever published. Topics include the origin and beliefs of the Amish, historical development of the Amish quilt, and choices of fabric in Old Order quilting. Throughout the book, color photographs of the quilts burst from the pages. Truly gorgeous! The Amish Quilt draws together the body of available information about the Amish and their textile traditions. Much of what is presented here comes from interviews and conversations with Amish families and with people whose lives have touched the Amish community. Research in county courthouse records and public libraries provided other valuable data and insight. Finally, there is the information based on seeing these quilts in Amish homes, watching them come out of blanket chests or off beds. When women were asked about the age or history of their quilts they had much to say. By listening to their stories, handling thousands of quilts, looking at fabrics and comparing quilts made in different communities, we can begin to develop a greater sense of the Amish and their quilts. - Eve Wheatcroft Granick *Reader Reviews* This review is from: The Amish Quilt (Paperback) I've bought, read, or browsed through many books on this subject. Granick's book on Amish quilts is the most comprehensive and fascinating I've seen. A delight to read. A delight to the eyes. I recommend it highly. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
