Don't expect a quilter's handbook here: this is local history at its best,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mary Black's Family Quilts: Memory and Meaning in Everyday Life (Paperback)
Laurel Horton is an independent folklorist and textile scholar who examines the family quilting traditions of six generations in Mary Black's Family Quilts: Memory And Meaning In Everyday Life. Sixteen quilts here tell the story of the family, a South Carolina legend - and reveals the trunks full of quilts Black left to her descendants. Don't expect a quilter's handbook here: this is local history at its best.

This review is from: Mary Black's Family Quilts: Memory and Meaning in Everyday Life (Paperback)
As I am currently studying Historic Preservation, I appreciate what it takes to do research. This book is well-researched, and interesting, to boot.

This review is from: Mary Black's Family Quilts: Memory and Meaning in Everyday Life (Paperback)
I was somewhat disappointed that there was not a more extensive use of primary source materials. This is an easy book to read and understand.
