Opis produktu
: : : : : : : : : A rare collection of 90 antique Amish quilts for children is showcased in this brilliantly colorful volume. Few antique Amish crib quilts remain because they were put to hard use in large families which typically averaged seven children. But Sara Miller of Kalona Iowa herself a member of the Old Order Amish began building a collection of lovely antique crib quilts which she learned about as the proprietor of a fabric and quilt shop. Thus began an unusual odyssey Sara who once disparaged the quilting tradition of her heritage thinking it dull and drab began to see its graphic beauty when outsiders became intent on owning Amish quilts. : : : : : : : : : : The richly colorful quilts featured here come from Amish communities through the Midwestern United States. In addition to 90 fullcolor plates of the exquisite quilts is interpretive commentary and documentation plus three essays elaborating on the significance of the collection. Author Janneken Smucker descends from a line of quilters in the AmishMennonite community of Goshen IN: Dr. Patricia Cox Crews is Director of the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln NE: Dr. Linda Welters is Professor of Textiles at the University of Rhode Island. Amish Crib Quilts from the Midwest: The Sara Miller Collection is an unusual feast visually. The analyses that accompany the boldly beautiful images contribute scholarship to this intersection of art and the life of the Amish.Data Publikacji: 2003-06-01
