EIGHT HANDS ROUND: A Patchwork Alphabet

by Ann Whitford Paul ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 15, 1991

For each letter, a patchwork design shown in detail and as repeated in a quilt, plus an illustration and brief explanation of an early American activity or subject that gave the design its name: ""Anvil,"" ""Log cabin,"" ""Rocky road to Kansas,"" etc. A novel way to introduce patchwork's economic, social, and artistic role while relating it to history. Winter's colorful, stylized illustrations are appropriately decorative.
