Last summer I purchased the book “Historic Quilts of the DAR Museum” which is part of the Martha Pullen’s Favorite Place Series. It was a fascinating look at the historic quilts being preserved and researched at the DAR Museum.
Martha Pullen presents this new book exploring the DAR Museum quilt collection, which is known world-wide as a premier collection of early American quilts that celebrates both the rich heritage of quilting and the role women have played in America’s history. DAR Curator of Costume and Textiles, Alden O’Brien, digs deep into historic documents and records to share stories and shed light on the actual women who worked magic with their needles, creating these beautiful quilts, counterpanes, table covers and other linens. Hardback, 144 pages. No patterns or instructions included.
