Quilts Through the Camera's Eye
by Terry Clothier
Thompson
Terry Clothier Thompson combines her
passion for historical quilts with her talent for recreating those
quilts with today's fabrics and time saving sewing methods.
This time her inspiration comes from a collection of vintage
c.1900-1930 photographs from the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History, in
Springdale, Arkansas... wonderful images of people posing for the
camera with their special quilt as a frame.
From these photos, Terry has recreated
six vintage quilts with reproduction fabric and modern sewing
techniques for contemporary quilters. Five pieced and one
appliquéd, these quilts were family treasures, worthy of being
preserved with a photograph.

Louisa May Alcott
Quilts of her life, her
work, her heart
by Terry Clothier
Thompson
This new book looks at the Civil War
years thru the eyes of Louisa May Alcott. Louisa is best known
for writing children's stories, and the "Little Women" novel, but
she was also very involved with the anti-slavery movement, rights
for women, and served as a Civil War nurse.
The heart of the book is a the "Louisa"
quilt. In this quilt there are nine "cameo" blocks that tell
the story of Louisa and her family's life in New England. Also
as a part of the quilt, there are 6 pieced blocks from the Civil
Ware era that can be used to make soldiers quilts. Along with
the "Louisa" quilt, the book contains patterns for 3 authentic
soldiers quilts and another magnificent appliquéd quilt call
"Concord, Mass."
For each "cameo" on the "Louisa"
quilt, Terry includes her own commentary about the block to go along
with quotes from noted historians and Louisa herself. "Louisa
May Alcott: Quilt of Her Life, Her Work, Her Heart" tells the
story of an influential woman who touched the world in ways few
people know about. If you love women's history and quilt
history this book will interest you.
