Description
|
|
|
|
Two hidden valleys held vibrant communities and quilting traditions through the end of the 19th century and the early decades if the 20th. The Big Valley in Pennsylvania's Mifflin County was (and continues to be) the home of three Old Order Amish groups. The quilts from this valley were made mostly from dress fabrics (solid colors without prints) and are strong with occasional flashes of bold color. At the same time, Mennonite quilters in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia were making precisely pieced yet more subdued quilts, filled with minutely stitched quilting. Beautifully illustrated with archival images and color photos of full quilts and close-up details, this book closely compares the quilting traditions of these two communities.
