5.0 out of 5 stars good storytelling, creative artwork, October 24, 2000

By A Customer

This book gives a clear, rhyming explanation of the history of quilting in America and how it has changed. The artwork is a fun combination of real quilt photos and hand-drawn images. I bought this for *my mom* to read to her grandkids, in the hopes that it will open doors for her to talk about our own family's quilting history. Quilting was an important part of the history of American women and I'm delighted that this book keeps that history alive for kids today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for kids and adults!, January 2, 1999

By A Customer

I am an avid quiltmaker, especially of children's quilts and doll quilts. This gem of a book is a great gift to accompany a quilt you make for anyone, especially kids. It is a great way to explain and share your passion for quilts and quiltmaking. The text is in rhyme and quite charming in and of itself -- but more important, the authors show-and-tell the history of quilting with very accruate facts and details. It tells the story of how quilts warm not only the body but also our souls! And if you a quiltmaker, watch out: the last line of the book will really get you....

5.0 out of 5 stars best quilting book ever, October 12, 2000

By A Customer

This is the best quilting book I have ever read. It explains how quilts are made so that kids and adults can actually understand it. There are pictures of real quilts inside, and I have seen some patterns that I can't wait to try. My kids love it too. This book was not only fun to read, but I actually learned helpfull stuff too. IT is a must read!
