The Quilters Hall Of Fame: 42 Masters Who Have Shaped Our Art

Masterpiece quilts. Master quilters. Both are honored in The Quilters Hall of Fame. The book profiles more than forty of the quilting world's most influential people-from early twentieth-century quilt designer Ruby McKim to quilt curator Jonathan Holstein to contemporary art quilter Nancy Crow. Lavishly illustrated with one hundred glorious color photographs of their quilts, plus historical photographs, ads, and pattern booklets, The Quilters Hall of Fame is essential for every quilter's bookshelf.
