I was recently gifted with the wonderful book titled “The Quilters Women & Domestic Art: An Oral History” written by Patricia Cooper and Norma Bradley Allen. My great friend Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts gave me this treasure of a book – how sweet of her was that!
I spent yesterday evening reading this oral history book and loving the images of the old quilts and the black and white photos of quilters. I was amused at some of the stories. It’s a great book to just sit and read with a nice cup of coffee or tea in the evening and think about women of long ago and their quilting!
Here are some images from the book!
And coming soon…..

These are wonderful quilts! And don't you just love to see old pics of women together working on a quilt on a frame. They always look so sweet and happy to be there; having social time while quilting. I love that!
