978-0-8131-9818-7 (ISBN)
The author provides a panoramic view of the Kentucky quilt world—from Colonial America through the American Revolution, the Civil War to the 1900s, to the new millennium and the ever-changing landscape of today's quilting industry. LaPinta reveals the pivotal role that Kentucky's quilts and quiltmakers have played in shaping significant aspects of the national quilt scene, including the first statewide quilt documentation project, significant exhibits, major quilt organizations, and the National Quilt Museum. Rounding out this all-encompassing volume is a collection of significant and intimate recollections and artistic commentaries by notable quiltmakers who created these works of art, as well as discussion of the curators, collectors, historians, entrepreneurs, and other key players who have created, conserved, celebrated, and showcased the commonwealth's extraordinary quilt world culture.
Linda Elisabeth LaPinta is associate professor of English at Elizabethtown Community College and the editor of Conversations with Kentucky Writers.
