Quilts - A Beautiful History by Zaro Weil
The story of how the humble bed cover has become part of the popular American cultural identity is a fascinating one. The tradition arrived on American shores with the early British settlers and in a very short time, disparate ethnic groups had adopted quiltmaking as their primary form of bedding for everyday use and special occasions. Quilts - A Beautiful History features over 120 unique quilt designs and spans almost two centuries of quiltmaking. The wide range of designs presented in this exquisite book is a tribute to the inventiveness and expertise of the American women who have been responsible for this extraordinarily vibrant textile tradition.
Zaro Weil, author, publisher and poet has been collecting American quilts for more than twenty years and has exhibited her collection variously in London galleries. She has written on quilts for Vogue, Elle Decoration, Traditional Homes and Interiors as well for numerous newspapers.
