In “Quilting Legacy,” authors Jim and Jan Shore invite readers on a nostalgic journey through America’s past, offering a heartfelt tribute to the cherished quilts of yesteryear. Through meticulous research and a deep appreciation for the craft, the authors present 13 historical projects inspired by quilts from the Civil War era, a transformative period in American history.
Each project is accompanied by step-by-step instructions, complete patterns, and stunning photography, making it accessible for quilters of all skill levels to recreate these vintage treasures using today’s traditional fabrics. Jan Shore’s personal connection to quilting shines through as she shares quilts from her own family’s collection, adding a personal touch to each design.
What sets “Quilting Legacy” apart is the inclusion of fascinating backstories for each quilt, providing insight into the scraps, uniforms, and supplies used during the Civil War era, as well as the symbolism and meaning behind each design. This attention to detail not only adds depth to the quilts but also offers readers a sentimental glimpse into the past.
