About this item
A historical exploration of Virginia’s quilting heritage, featuring over 270 quilts from 1607 to 1899.
Quilts of Virginia 1607-1899: The Birth of America Through the Eye of a Needle offers a fascinating visual journey through Virginia’s rich quilting history, showcased in over 430 color and vintage photographs. From 17th-century quilted armor to 19th-century crazy quilts, this book highlights quilts made by both enslaved people and freed women, including works by U.S. First Ladies. The Virginia-born U.S. presidents are represented, with quilting from George Washington’s great-great-grandmother to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. The book is based on the Virginia Consortium of Quilters' Documentation Project, which studied more than 3,000 quilts across the state. With an emphasis on Virginia's contribution to quilting history, this book is both an important scholarly resource and an inspiring treasure for quilters today.
