A Pattern Companion to Baltimore Beauties and Beyond by Elly Sienkiewicz
Baltimore Album Quilts draws the historic period, the quilts and their makers closer to us all. The lively text stages both quilts and design motifs in a dramatic historic era. Fifty-two spectacular color plates, most of antique needleart, proffer insights into this nineteenth-century quilt tradition. In clear closeup photography, they reveal antique fabric use, period embroidery, and the subtleties of individual presentations. With integrity and artistry, a splendid 56 patterns for making 58 “beyond Baltimore” blocks are presented. Each one is referenced to applique lessons in Volume 1, whose pattern companion this book is. Ten exciting classes using this book as a text are outlined and may be taught in workshops or taken independently. Whether for a great read or as a scholarly reference, or to create an Album heirloom of our own, this volume, itself, is certain to become a treasured possession.
