Softcover. Glossy white wraps with color illus. and black lettering. 68 pp. with 20 color plates and 1 bw map. "This was published in 1988. It's a book of quilts exhibited under the title "Quilts from Appalachia". It shows quilts that were made in the region in the 1980's, not "historical quilts" (but they might now be considered historical). The area represented ranges from New York to Mississippi, and includes parts of Pennsylvania, and southern Ohio. Not only were specific states represented, but also nationalities, Scots-Irish, German, Afro-American, along with Hmong refugees from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand, as well as people in the 1960's and 1970's from eastern cities who were seeking a return to the earth lifestyle. The catalogue includes full page color pictures of the quilts, as well as information about the quilt and quilter. I can enjoy this again and again." from Good Reads. VG, clean, tight contents but art museum ex-lib. with usual marks.
