Description
Join fictional character Esther Heinzmann as she narrates the journey through thirty authentic, pioneer-era creations from the Poos Collection, each featured in full colour on a two-page spread. With access to the authors’ privately-held family collection, this book gives an in-depth look at the importance of quilts to the pioneer life. As you view the quilts, you’ll also read accounts of the Great Migration, including preparation for the long journey and a depiction of real life on the prairie. Ideal for traditional quilters and quilt history buffs, it also features five quilt projects that readers can recreate at home.
