Barbara Brackman About the Author

Barbara Brackman became interested in quilt patterns as an undergraduate at the University of Kansas in the 1960s. At the back of the classroom in which she studied art history, she discovered drawers full of quilt blocks. These blocks were the collection of Carrie Hall, who had published a patchwork index in the 1930s entitled The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America. Determined to make a quilt in every design, Barbara started a file of quilt blocks. She soon realized, as Carrie Hall, had, that one person could not hope to stitch a block in every pattern much less a quilt. An index card on each, however, was possible, and over 25 years, Barbara's file grew to include thousands of quilt patterns

In the 1980s, Barbara published the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns and, in 1993, the Encyclopedia of Appliqué. The latter has been out of print for several years. This new edition includes updated information about the pattern sources and current information about trends in appliqué history.
