Description

Maine Quilts: 250 Years of Comfort and Community By Laureen Labar "Quilting has a rich history in Maine and America, and its popularity has surged in recent years as people return to traditional handcrafts. The first book of its kind, Maine Quilts: 250 Years of Comfort and Community is the accompanying volume to a major exhibit in the Maine State Museum. Stories abound, and lesser known aspects of the State's history are brought to light, but the star attractions are the quilts themselves." Laureen Labar is a former archaeologist and now a curator at the Maine State Museum. Ms. LaBar lives in Dresden, Maine and this is her third book.
