Aurora: An American Experience in Quilt, Community, and Craft [Bargain Price] [Hardcover] Review

The quilts tell this story...
Author Jane Kirkpatrick wrote two series of books taking place in the Willamette Valley of Oregon during the 1800s.Aurora, a German Christian commune, existed at that time.The members worked together using their skills to survive.

Aurora:An American Experience in Quilt, community, and Craft is a celebration of their lives and the artifacts they left behind.The skills and talent varied from quilts to furniture to numerous other items.This book is filled with photographs.I was particular impressed with the quilts, for each one tells a story.One of the quilts that caught my eye is a piece-appliquéd quilt.The background is brown and black with colorful appliquéd birds.This quilt seems to break the barriers that prevent friendships.

The hand-stitched samplers are beautiful.Needlework is quickly becoming a lost art.Few people in today's world have the time or take the time to put needle and thread to fabric.Aurora:An American Experience in Quilt, community, and Craft is a book to be cherished.It is gift quality.
