For generations, quilts have both preserved history and furthered artistic innovation, leading to personal and creative discoveries that have changed lives. In Quilts in the Attic, author and quiltmaker Karen Musgrave presents 30 stories of great quilt discoveries, including hidden masterpieces, fascinating finds, and treasured family heirlooms. The tales in this book are both heartwarming and thrilling, whether about unearthing breathtaking pieces at summer flea markets or finding Grandma’s priceless antique quilt hidden away in a box. By sharing stories from all over the world, Musgrave uses these wonderful works of art to explore the complex patchwork of human history, from 19th-century Jewish life in Southern California to the Sears National Quilt Contest at the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago, to a 12th-century castle in France. Each memory embodies the inherent human drive to craft something of purpose and meaning while shedding light on the works of well-known quiltmakers like Mary Lee Bendolph from Gee’s Bend, Marie Webster, and Ruby Short McKim. Featuring stories from unknown and famous quilters alike, Quilts in the Attic uncovers the mystery and significance of the quilts we love.

Quilts exemplify precious things: comfort through the warmth they provide; community, since they are often created by groups; and love, given the time and effort they require. With this in mind, legions of kindhearted quilters all over the world choose to donate their labors of love to people in need. Ruth McHaney Danner has gathered fifty-four heartwarming stories of quilters who make their compassion tangible one stitch, square, and quilt at a time. Each story introduces a quilter or group of quilters, ranging from a blind woman in Texas to preschoolers in Australia. Their gifts have the power to make recipients feel cherished and supported, even though they may never meet face-to-face. These wonderfully inspiring stories show that every quilter who has ever wondered, “But what can I do?” can do something to reach out and help others.

If you are a beginner wanting to make a quilt you can be proud of and can show to others with pride, this is for you. The quilt pattern is for a 40 in. by 60 in. lap quilt that should fit just about everyone. You get a list of supplies necessary for making the quilt and some that make quilting a little easier and are fun to use. Also included is a short history of quilting from colonial days up to now. UNDERGROUND RAILROAD QUILT HISTORY Some scholars say the underground railroad quilt is a myth because there is no documentation about it. Others say it was a way for the enslaved escapees to find help along their way north to freedom. Each block had a different meaning giving directions on which way to go and where food, and clean clothing could be obtained. This gives you the opportunity to decide if you think the Underground Railroad Quilt is a myth or true facts.

The Irish Chain is one of the most universally known patterns dating to pre-American Revolutionary War times. While evidence is lacking that this pattern came from Ireland, it has been suggested that the Irish Chain pattern may have been inspired by a similar Irish weaving pattern. Whatever the origin, the Irish Chain is a timeless pattern that continues to delight quilters today. The original Irish Chain in a Day was first published in 1986 in a black and white format. While this book remains a best seller, Eleanor wanted to update her book and add balance to the quilt. Irish Chain in a Day contains two complete quilt patterns, The Single Irish Chain, and the Double Irish Chain. Geared toward the beginner quilter, the Single Irish Chain is easy and fun to make. It guides a novice step by step through every phase of starting and finishing the quilt. The Double Irish Chain is more complex and offers the seasoned quilter a degree of challenge. With 112 full color pages, Irish Chain in a Day provides yardage and cutting charts for six quilt sizes, assistance in color variations with a paste up sheet, and border treatments. In addition to detailed written instructions, illustrations are provided for marking, pinning, quilting and binding the project. Many sample quilt photos are included to inspire creativity.
