Quilts 1700 - 2010: Hidden Histories, Untold Stories
Author(s): Sue Prichard
Quilts evoke the past - they stimulate our earliest memories of security and comfort and resonate with historical and cultural references challenging the assumption that stitching is simply 'women's work'. This book explores the personal and social histories which reveal the maker's complex engagement with the wider world.
