Texas Quilts and Quilters: A Lone Star Legacy Hardcover - 2007

by Marcia Kaylakie; Foreword by Marian Ann Montgomery; Jim Lincoln (Photographer)


From the publisher

Winner, Violet Crown Award, Writers' League of Texas, 2008 For more than a decade, Marcia Kaylakie traveled Texas from the Panhandle to Big Bend country, from the Piney Woods to the Gulf, discovering thousands of quilts in towns from Alpine to Austin, Dimmitt to Dallas, and myriad other Texas communities large and small. Hidden away in closets, trunks, and attics, the quilts Kaylakie found are not only heirlooms but also, owing to their histories, irreplaceable emblems of Texas heritage. This book showcases thirty-four quilts. Through them and their stories, the cultural development of the state unfolds. Most will never be exhibited or appear in any other permanent record. All Texas-made, they span the state geographically and range from the 1870s to the turn of the twenty-first century. As examples of what Texas quilting was and is as craft--and as cultural narrative--these quilts preserve a unique and compelling aspect of Texas history.

The author spent over a decade traveling all over Texas looking at quilts and talking to quilters. This book has pictures of their quilts and tells their stories, good ones, too. The author is a certified appraiser of the American Quilters Society and a member of the International Quilt Association, among other groups.

Lots of notes, descriptions and especially stories. The book is in near fine condition. Its only flaw is a slight bump on the lower front right cover.
