Cover Information"Some people like to make a little garden out of life" Author unknown
The ten appliqué patterns in this book are beautiful examples of a type of 19th century quilt style noted for its decorative features - the appliquéd quilt with bold, exuberant floral patterns in bright colors of red and green. They reflect a creative energy and unique design not often seen.
Historians Nancy Hornback and Terry Clothier Thompson share their enthusiasm for these quilts. "It amazes us to think that after more than 150 years, red and green appliqué quilts still excite the eye and inspire us to recreate their beauty."
Most of the quilts were made in points of migration - a path stretching from Pennsylvania through the Ohio Valley states to the Midwest. The quilters were German, English, Scotch-Irish, Irish and Welsh.
They used the fabrics available to them at the time. This book builds on that background, using fabrics that are available to us today. The quilting itself was an important part of the red and green quilt tradition, so Nancy and Terry have included a bountiful selection of quilting designs.
About
the AuthorNancy Hornback was a board member of the Kansas Quilt Project and served as its quilt discovery day coordinator. She wrote a chapter on "19th Century Red and Green Appliqué Quilts" for Kansas Quilts and Quilters, published in 1993 by the University Press of Kansas. Nancy Researches, lectures, curate quilt shows, and make quilts. She lives in Wichita, Kansas with her husband Terry. They raised four sons and two daughters and now have eighteen grandchildren.
Terry
Clothier Thompson teaches classes on quilt dating to small groups of women who
want to know about the old fabric in quilts, and their history. She also designs
and writes books for Peace Creek Patterns, owned and operated by Terry's
daughter Shannon and her husband Kent Richards. These books are about Terry's
pioneering family and the quilts of 1800-1940's period of America's history. Two
children, four grandchildren, and a fifteen-year-old stitch group that meets every
week, keep her out of trouble most of the time.
