Quiltmaking in the Catskills,
By
This review is from: The Unbroken Thread: A History of Quiltmaking in the Catskills (Paperback)
Rather disappointing, since it focussed on a narrow timeline restricted to the 20th century quiltmakers. No coloured illustrations and the only quilts pictured were as an adjunct to the ladies who made them. Information was rather repetative especially regarding the hard lives of the quilters during 1900-1940. Not terribly interesting after the first two profiles.
