PROUD TO BE AN OHIO QUILTER!

When one sees the history and artistry behind the antique and vintage Ohio quilts, she/he is encouraged and amazed at the "UN-covering" (no pun intended) of the gone, but not forgotten artist's tricks of the trade.The authors have uncovered an incredible amount of information regarding the quilters, textiles, history of quilt patterns, history of Ohio and various counties and cities....but most charming to me is the discovery of antique recipes for various dyes and incredibly, the recipe for the indelible ink, which was used to write on quilts. There is not only a vast amount of information, but some of the lovliest quilts ever photographed, in my opinion. As a quilter, who has won blue ribbons for reproducing antique quilts, I am thrilled to have this delicious potpourri of Ohio history and artistry. It makes me proud to be an Ohio quilter.

A book I come back to again and again for its photographs of beautiful quilts. The beautiful applique quilt on its cover is worth the price of the book. Also a good source of dating fabric. Very inspirational book. It's interesting to read about the quilters and see their photographs alongside of their quilts.
