Red & White Quilts: Infinite Variety by Elizabeth V. Warren with Maggi Gordon

The “Red & White Quilts: Infinite Variety” exhibition, curated by the American Folk Art Museum at the Wade Thompson Drill Hall in 2011, was the largest exhibition of quilts ever held in New York City. This catalogue of the same name showcases the quilts and takes the reader through a history of the collection and the exhibition. With a foreword by Martha Stewart, this book satisfies the eyes, and the curiosities, of quilt enthusiasts.

 

The Diligent Needle: Instrument of Profit, Pleasure, and Ornament by the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library

The Diligent Needle exhibition was on display at the Winterthur Museum from August 2014 to July 2015. This catalogue shows the reader excellent pictures of the items on display while also telling the reader about the role needlework played in women’s lives in the 17th through 19th centuries. Needlework meant different things to different women throughout this time period, but it always played an important role in women’s daily life. This book illustrates the various applications of the skill, with examples for each.
