Quilting has existed for thousands of years, spanning the globe, practiced by women as well as men, and bringing together communities and generations. And every quilt tells a story—
whether it’s the fabric used, the techniques employed in its construction, or the design selected by its maker.In F is for Friendship: A Quilt Alphabet, author Helen L. Wilbur examines the subject of quilting, as an art form as well as an item of utility, tracing its early history from a cave in Mongolia to patchwork bedcoverings transported in overland wagon trains to present-day exhibits at renowned museums.Topics include patterns, inventions, and fabric choices, as well as well as the role of quilts in American history.
