Montana Quilts Book Now Ready
After months of waiting, and having this book on pre-order with amazon, on Friday, the book, Border to Border: Historic Quilts and Quiltmakers of Montana by Annie Hanshew arrived in the mail. This is an oversize book with many beautiful photos of quilts from sugans to quilts that depict the activities of Montana’s Indian (Native American) population. For good measure, there is even the story of a Sanitary Commission Quilt thrown into the mix. Anyone who loves quilt history will be delighted with this latest state documentation book, the work of many dedicated volunteers. From the beautiful quilt on the cover, to what is written inside the covers, to the introduction and the contents, this book is a page turner. I’ve yet to devour every word, but even a brief overview shows this book to be one of interest and note.
Many congratulations for work well done, and to those who served as advisers on the project, including Margo Kramer, a quilt historian and a shop owner.
