Book Description
Many American women made warm and attractive quilts to benefit U.S. soldiers during the period 1940-1945, either as outright gifts or as raffle items to raise money for good causes. This book reflects the author's extensive original research of newspaper and magazine articles of the era that feature these quilts. This work authenticates the patterns and designs available to quiltmakers and anchors the quilts historically in time. 335 color photos and descriptive text identify many colorful and patriotic quilts with military symbols and insignia, quilts made for donation to the Red Cross and organizations such as Bundles for Britain to raise money for the war effort. When possible, original patterns and designs that inspired the quilts are included. This work is important historically and emotionally to the appreciative families for whom these quilts, and thousands more yet to be discovered, were originally intended. Their legacies will continue because now these quilts can be interpreted from factual and objective perspectives.

Book Description
"In 2013 a challenge was issued to west coast quilters to create small quilts (roughly 18" x 18") depicting scenes from the World War II Home Front with stories to accompany them. The purpose of the challenge was to provide a special exhibit within the gigantic "Voices in Cloth" quilt show presented at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond in 2014. The WWII theme was chosen because the Craneway Pavilion is located next to the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park. The special exhibit was a huge success. People gathered three-deep to admire the quilts and reminisce over the stories. We noted a continuing interest in our little collection, so we did two things: We issued a second challenge, and we "took the show on the road." The original show included 30 quilts. We added 15 with the second challenge which broadened the subjects depicted [...] This little project grew and grew. The response has been tremendous. We have returned the quilts to the creators, but we have memorialized the collection in the book we are presenting to you."--Letter accompanying book.

Book Description
Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich has remarked, “Much of the social history of early America has been lost to us precisely because women were expected to use needles rather than pens.” This book, part of the multivolume series of the International Quilt Study Center collections, recovers a swath of that lost history and shows us some of America’s treasured material culture as it was pieced and stitched into place. American Quilts in the Modern Age, 1870–1940 examines the period’s quilts from both an artistic and a historical perspective. From pieced block to Crazy style to Colonial Revival examples, as well as one-of-a-kind creations, the full array of style and design appears in this book covering seven decades of quiltmaking. The contributing authors provide critical information regarding the modern and anti-modern tensions that persisted throughout this era of America’s coming of age, from the Civil War to World War II. They also address the textile technology and cultural context of the times in which the quilts were created, with an eye to the role that industrialization and modernization played in the evolution of techniques, materials, and designs. With full-color photographs of over 587 quilts, American Quilts in the Modern Age, 1870-1940 offers a new visual and tactile understanding of American culture and society, bridging the transition from traditional folk culture to the age of mass production and consumption.
