Book Review: Patchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 World’s Fair (update)

Patchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 World's FairPatchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 World’s Fair by Merikay Waldvogel

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love history of quiltmaking books because of the stories of the people. This book is one of the reasons I always put labels on my quilts. I also like looking at the old patterns and thinking about people making some of the patterns with crazy angles.

Update 9/20/2010: The University of Nebraska at Lincoln International Quilt Study Center now has a vidcast up that talks about this book and recent discoveries of additional quilts. Merikay Waldvogel narrates the vidcast and shows photos of quilts found after the book was published. She also tells stories and scandals about the makers and the quilts. Well worth a listen. I found it on iTunes.
