( ) The concept of explaining the origins (or possible origins) of quilt squares is pretty cool, but I got annoyed with the author. She paints a very bleak picture of life and claims that just about everyone lived exactly that way during the 100 years post signing the Declaration of Independence, when people lived a variety of ways/ lifestyles, and that was a period that included the industrial revolution- and the mountains of change that went with it. She also focuses a lot on men, and goes on and on about "what your fathers and brothers" would have been doing- your mother, according to her, sat around in the house all day (um, hello, women worked just as hard as the men did, and helped out as was needed), and your sisters apparently didn't exist, since she never mentioned them. She goes on about all the adventures the men were having that might have inspired some woman watching to make a quilt square. See why I'm annoyed? inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Informative text about quilt patterns, including Bear’s Paw, Trail of the Covered Wagon, and Turkey Tracks, and appealing scratchboard illustrations provide a glimpse of pioneer life and celebrate an American art form. “McCurdy’s finely etched illustrations, with their careful attention to detail and old-fashioned flavor, urge upon readers a commanding vision of American history.”--Publishers Weekly Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
