Descripción
Descripción:
Quilts are a reflection of the people who make, use, and cherish them through the years. John Rice Irwin has personally conducted interviews with hundreds of old-time quiltmakers, some of whom were over one hundred years old. Detailed photographs taken by Pulitzer Prize winner Robin Hood depict an opulent conglomeration of quilts, from the community quilt which became known as the Murder Quilt. More importantly, Irwin looks under the quilts, at the lives of the people who created and used them. He explores their ambitions and aspirations, their struggles and disappointments. From the young ladies of Salem Valley who pieced a quilt for the town's most eligible bachelor in the hope that one of them would sleep under it, to the retired physician who began quilting in his late sixties to fill his spare time, Irwin presents their stories with compassion and candor. This lavishly illustrated volume is a treasure trove of creative needlework, colorful anecdotes, and intriguing personal histories which will entertain readers of all ages.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. SIGNED with a brief inscription by Irwin on the title page. Full cloth hardcover binding is clean and solid. Previous owner's bookplate on the front flyleaf, otherwise the book's interior and text are clean and unmarked. The dust jacket price remains unclipped ($45.00), and the jacket is bright and attractive with one short closed tear to the front panel and light rubbing to the edges. NOT ex-lib. A clean, solid copy in jacket. Profusely illustrated with color photos; indexed. 214pp. This book is oversized and quite heavy, so it will likely require additional shipping charges on all priority and international orders.
