Summary: Outstanding -- Well Worth the Price!
Comment: This book would make a lovely gift for anybody interested in textile arts, even for someone with little or no quilting or embroidery experience. The presentation is lovely -- two nicely bound, wonderfully illustrated books nestled inside a snug cardboard jacket. One book features a short discussion of redwork embroidery along with illustrations of exquisitely executed quilts. The other supplies brief instructions (perhaps too brief -- especially the section on transferring the patterns)and a lovely collection of redwork patterns so that readers can create their own redwork quilt. My only quarrel with the book is that a beginner (like me!) might not feel confident with the brief instructions. However, a quick trip to the fabric store to talk to a knowledgable salesperson should dispel any doubts. Despite this small problem, I give the book 5+ stars -- it was great fun to browse through, then to read intently , then to pore over as I selected possible designs for my very first quilt!

Summary: Red & White
Comment: Once again Deborah Harding shares a piece of history with us. Her beautifully organized and prodigiously researched book on redwork quilts is a welcome addition to any quilt lovers library. It seems that no stone was left unturned in her search to bring us a comprehensive documentation of this needleart. I recommend this two volume book to anyone interested in quilts. Not only is it a lovely publication to look at, but it educates us in an area of quilting that little has been written about. Bravo Deborah!

Summary: A must-have book for the serious quilter's library!
Comment: This is the "Red & White" quilt lover and historian's dream book! The information contaned within these pages has been so thoroughly researched, it will be difficult to top these books until the turn of the next century. "Red & White" contains the most superior examples of red & white quilts that I have ever seen photographed in any one book. The most exciting surprise are the numerous pictures of the original examples and sources from where the patterns originated. These books are absolutely LOADED! Volume I contains the history of red & white quilts and Volume II contains patterns from some of the examples. Whether you are passionate about your quilt history, or you enjoy making the actual quilts, this book will not disappoint!
