Unconventional & unexpected : American quilts below… por Roderick Kiracofe

Looking alike a catalogue for a show with essays and photographs but I think it is a catalogue for his collection instead. I can find no mention of show dates. Eight essays about quilts in general and these specifically - some conventional but a couple quite interesting (one by Ulysses Grant Dietz, curator at the Newark Museum and great, great, great grandson of Ulysses S Grant).

But it is the photos that are so wonderful. One quilt more beautiful than the next, lots of inspiration.

Going West!: Quilts and Community por Sandi Fox

This book covers quilts brought to or made in Nebraska, during the 19th or early 20th century, and presented at an exhibit at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The text is not particularly informative, but the book has large size illustrations of some wonderful quilts not previously published.
