Synopsis
Quilts evoke the past - they stimulate our earliest memories of security and comfort and resonate with historical and cultural references challenging the assumption that stitching is simply 'women's work'. Using stunning new photography, this book explores the personal and social histories which reveal the maker's complex engagement with the wider world. The myths and narratives handed down with each intricately pieced patchwork and stitched whole cloth are as much a part of our heritage as the silks, velvets and cottons which document our textile history. Primary sources, such as inventories, diaries and letters add context to the personal narratives documented by the quilts, exploring responses to marriage, childbirth, love and loss. The book includes contemporary material to show how artists such as Grayson Perry and Tracey Emin respond to the tradition of quilt making., Quilts evoke the past - they stimulate our earliest memories of security and comfort and resonate with historical and cultural references challenging the assumption that stitching is simply 'women's work'.

For the first time, the V&A showcases its extensive patchwork and quilt collection in one sumptuously illustrated publication. Major essays by leading textile and quilt historians document the fascinating history of British patchwork and quiltmaking, while individual case studies focus on particularly complex or extraordinary pieces within the collection. Primary sources such as inventories, diaries, letters, and pieces from both private and public collections offer opportunities to reinterpret the personal narratives that document life cycle events such as marriage, childbirth, love, and loss. This book offers a unique opportunity to discover one of the V&A's most hidden collections. Quilts 1700-2010 includes a comprehensive catalogue, providing a key work of reference for quilters, quilt and textile historians, designers, and anyone interested in the extraordinarily creative and eccentric culture of Great Britain Praise for Quilts 1700-2010 " Quilts 1700-2010: Hidden Histories, Untold Stories reveals a wealth of information about fabric traditions in a sumptuously detailed volume published by the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum, London." -- Fiberarts magazine "Lovers of quilt history will relish Quilts 1700-2010: Hidden Histories, Untold Stories , edited by Sue Prichard.

    This was absolutely an ✔️excellent buy, at an ✔️exceptional price, and a ✔️quick shipment; however, the package did not arrive, as indicated from the eBay and USPS notifications to me (May 8, 2025). I finally contacted the seller today (May 30, 2025) about the non-delivery of my purchase, and the seller issued me a full refund. Note: I would purchase again from this seller because of their attention to customer service and communication. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
