The First and Only Book Devoted to Antique Ohio Amish Quilts
Above, you see a portion of the book cover for Darwin D. Bearley’s book about Ohio Amish Quilts.
The first and only book devoted exclusively to the quilts of the Ohio Amish is the Darwin D. Bearley Collection: Antique Ohio Amish Quilts.
This volume represents a thirty-year collection beautifully-photographed and printed in three languages, English, French, and German. Originally printed as a catalog for two exhibitions in Europe, in 2006, both sponsored by Bernina Sewing Machine Co., the book includes an introduction by quilt scholar, Jonathan Holstein, and an essay by Darwin D. Bearley about his collection.
This hard cover book measures 10″ X 13″ and contains 160 pages that show 138 unique Antique Ohio Amish Quilts. Included in the mix are 50 Crib Quilts and the only two nineteenth century Ohio Amish Sampler Quilts known to exist.
Darwin Bearley of Akron, Ohio has collected these quilts over a period of 30 years. Many of them have been exhibited in museums and quilt shows throughout the United States and Europe. A few of the quilts have been published in books by other authors, and in magazine articles and calendars for the last three decades.
The photography, color, and design of the book represent the best print quality that is available today.
This book is not available in bookstores, as it does not have an ISBN number. However, it does have a LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG NUMBER: 2007369080. The book is available directly from the author for $45.00 plus shipping. Contact: DDBSTUFF@aol.com. Darwin will even autograph the book, upon request.
