Book Synopsis Kentucky Quilts and Their Makers by : Mary Washington Clarke
Download or read book Kentucky Quilts and Their Makers written by Mary Washington Clarke and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky's contribution to the perennially popular American craft of quiltmaking is a rich and varied one. Mary Clarke examines here the state of the craft in Kentucky and finds it as lively today as it was 150 years ago. Like a fingerprint, every Kentucky quilt differs from all others in some respects, whether it is an original creation or a variation of one of the traditional patterns long popular in the United States. And many Kentucky quilts reveal much about the individual maker—her disposition, taste, and lifestyle, the familiar objects that bring joy to her daily life, and her response to events beyond the confines of family and home. Taken as a whole, Kentucky quilts and quilt names reflect the history of the Commonwealth, at every turn showing the intermingling of old and new in the grassroots continuity of an ancient craft that responds to fads and fashions by absorbing and refining them.
