A Photographic Guide to Patchwork and Quilting During the Middle Ages

Quilting can refer either to the process of creating a quilt or to the sewing of two or more layers of material together to make a thicker padded material. ‘This vintage book contains a fascinating historical account of quilt-making in the middle ages. It explores the history and development of quilting during this time by looking at various remaining examples, providing authentic photographs, detailed descriptions, and other notable information for each piece treated This detailed volume will appeal to modern quilt-makers and historians alike, and it is not to be missed by collectors of allied literature. Contents include: “Quilting”, “Patchwork And Quilting During The Middle Ages”, and “How The Hodja Lost His Quilt”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on quilting.
