PERFECT FOR A NOVICE OR A PRO

Whether you are a novice or an accomplished, experienced quilter,
this wonderful book will give you everything you need to know in order
to _MAKE OVER TWO HUNDRED QUILTS FROM THE DESIGNS OF QUILTS MADE BY
ACTUAL AMERICAN PIONEER WOMEN!_

* step-by-step instructions
* cutting designs
* materials suggestions
* yardage estimates

You will be able to add a special value to the each quilt that you
make, because _YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THE STORY OF THE ORIGINAL
QUILT IN AMERICAN HISTORY_, which Ruby provides.

Here is an excerpt from Mrs. McKim's introduction, which eloquently
explained her philosophy about quilting:

"To salvage beauty and usefulness from coarse waste materials was
the everyday accomplishment of our pioneer mothers who hooked rugs and
pieced quilts and the story of their wanderings, their few original
possessions, their accumulations, the friendships formed, their
abiding faith and the home established, is the story of patchwork
quilts.

"Study the names of patterns and again you will know they were so
christened by young ladies of imagination, sometimes devout, sometimes
droll but always kindled by that divine spark of originality.

"a hundred or so of them are contained in our pages, but we have
found bits of interesting history about these and drafted patterns
from which you can copy them. We have estimated the yardage, suggested
ways of setting blocks together into tops and planned suitable
quilting designs.

"During years of experience there have been questions come to us
concerning every phase of quilt making. We have tried to answer them
all in this book, to tell you every practical, helpful angle in the
game of quilt
making.".

A QUILTING BOOK OF TIMELESS VALUE

Mrs. McKim's charming, well-illustrated book brings together
historical research, a treasury of over one hundred authentic early
American quilting designs, a wealth of practical methods, and a
satisfying helping of nostalgia. You will not want your craft library
