A Classic -- Intelligent Treatment of the Subject,
By galpalsal "galpalsal" (Vancouver, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perfect Patchwork Primer (Penguin Handbooks) (Paperback)
The quilt world was fortunate to have Beth Gutcheon for a brief period of time. She has subsequently moved on to write several books of fiction and screenplays, also of merit. However, while she was in our clutches, she wrote one of the first intelligent books about quilting, a primer which did not "write down" to women who sewed. It is a book which assumed from the onset that quilters were more interested in exploring visual patterns and their impact, rather than making ducks-and-bunnies quilts (which, while perhaps appropriate for children, somehow became associated with female creativity in the 70's and 80's). This book was a welcome relief.

The one craft book I'll never give up...and I'm a knitter!,

This review is from: The Perfect Patchwork Primer (Hardcover)
I bought this book in the 70's and it still has an honored place in my bookcase. Yes, I learned to quilt from it but more than that, I learned to think about handwork as craft and art. The book is fabulously funny as well. I didn't last long as a quilter but I've incorporated many of the designs into my knitting.
Every craft book should be this well written, clear in instruction and as well illustrated! I smile every time I pick it up or pass it on the bookcase. It is a masterwork.
