Any reviews on the AQSG book called Quiltmaking in America, Beyond the Myths?

Edited by Laurel Horton and includes articles and research from the first 10

years of the AGSG journals. It's listing for $35.00, both at Hickory Hill

(Kris) and Amazon. For those of us who haven't collected all the individual

journals, does this book present a "best of the best" approach? How were the

articles selected for this edition?

Thanks for any input,

Given our recent discussion on foreign quilts, I thought y'all might find

this bit of spam I received this morning amusing. I am tempted to write

him back and ask him if he has a website.

Sorry every one for sending this out to the entire list, but it seems I've

got the wrong e mail for Shelly Zegart and don't know how else to get this to

her. Just delete unless you are interested in the quilt video in which case,

read on.

Shelly,

Just wanted to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. As per your

suggestion, I contacted Appalshop and, indeed, they do have the video of QUILT

ING WOMEN, which I have ordered. I discovered they also carry several videos

of early American dance and Appalachian folk dances and, as I am the head of

a college dance dept. in Phx. AZ, I will be ordering those for our library.

I have been trying for some time to find films covering that area.

Serendipity!

Thanks again for your generous assistance.

I have found most of those impossible to remove even practicing with

really gone pieces and using some pretty strong methods. The rust

spots are really pretty easily spotted (no pun intended) and removed

with commercial rust removal products, but I would never use that

unless the quilt was in good enough shape for a full immersion bath.

I pulled out an old (7 year) project and found a totally unknown

stain of one of the blocks. It looked just like the old "age" spots.

I found nothing that would totally remove it. I can only assume that

it was colorless when it got on there and just oxidized with age.

Age being relative, of course.

Hi Cynthia,

Before I bought the complete Uncoverings I was constantly borrowing this

book from a friend. You should think of it as being one of those "BEST

OF..." publications. It also has some color which Uncoverings does not.

The articles are generally very good and of interest to a wide audience

unlike some of the Uncoverings papers which are of interest to no one but

the author. I'd reccommend it even if you think you might someday buy the

whole series which my firend whom I used to borrow from finally did.

In the most recent issue of the magazine "The World & I : The Magazine For

Lifelong Learners," pages 106-113, is coverage of the quilt show "Lancaster

County Quilting Traditions" curated by Patricia Herr that is hanging at the

Heritage Center in Lancaster, PA. Only 4 quilts are shown in color and part

of a 5th, but there is a liberal amount of copy to the article. This is an

unusual magazine in that each issue runs over 300 pages, and is broken down

into 7 major categories in each issue: Current Issues; The Arts; Life;

Natural Science; Culture; Book World; and Currents in Modern Thought. They

have a great website at http://www.worldandi.com. However, I don't think the

July 2000 issue (which contains the quilt article) is available yet on-line.

You can subscribe on-line or for the paper edition. If you subscribe to the

paper edition, you automatically get to access all back issues on line as

well. I rarely get through one issue before the next one arrives, so they sit

on the shelf as reference books! All Sections of it are equally fascinating

in each issue. I have no affiliation with this magazine, but have subscribed

for years because of the wide coverage of topics and the interesting and

color-filled arts and cultural articles, not to mention bookworld, etc. <g>

If you have never browsed through one, treat yourself sometime. You can

browse on the website to some degree without being a subscriber. It is well

worth a looksee.
