DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis magnificent volume features color photographs of more than 100 quilts crafted in North Carolina between the early nineteenth century and 1976. Included are chintz applique quilts, intricately pieced and appliqued quilts, crazy quilts, and examples of ingenious thrift in quilting with found and salvaged materials. The quilts were chosen from more than 10,000 that owners brought to be recorded by the North Carolina Quilt Project during a series of statewide Quilt Documentation Days in 1985-86. Because the quilts are privately owned, many have never been seen publicly. The text presents the lives and times of the quiltmakers, accompanied by many vintage photographs from family collections. Whether these women made quilts to pass the time, warm their families, beautify their lives, or serve as symbols of love and togetherness, they used their fabric with uncommon artistry and craftsmanship.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKQuilts can serve as portals into their makers' lives, gateways that connect past and present. Examples from the North Carolina Museum of History's quilt collection-which spans over two centuries-reveal voices from the past, specifically women's voices. They speak of skill and power. They speak of economy and ingenuity. They speak of memory and forgetting. Some of these voices have long been silenced by social constraints, racial oppression, illiteracy, and exhaustion. But by knowing how to listen, contemporary observers can uncover these voices and access the experiences of people whose lives skirted the periphery of written history.
