Gathered in Time : Utah Quilts and Their Makers, Settlement to 1950 by Kae Covington
The first Mormon pioneers arrived in Utah in 1847, bringing with them a quilting tradition that took root and flourished. In spite of sometimes bleak circumstances, the pioneer women possessed an urge for artistic expression that is universal. To preserve this artistic heritage, the Utah Quilt Heritage Corporation spent five years documenting more than 2200 quilts crafted in Utah from settlement to 1950. With over 90 color plates, Gathered in Time showcases a representative selection of these remarkable quilts. Each quilt is accompanied by a story about its maker that carefully combines family and cultural history with equally fascinating details about color choice, available patterns, and quilting techniques.
