Virginia
Quilt Museum
Somewhere in our quest
for modernity, we neglected to preserve the stories of the average
women from long ago. But as the founders of the Virginia Quilt
Museum have discovered, these women left tangible evidence of
their lives. With vivid color pics and detailed histories this
book chronicles the Old Dominion’s exceptional quilts and
the stories behind them, some amusing, some poignant, and some
downright ridiculous. Each page contains a full-color photo of
a quilt with a caption that describes who made it, when, where,
and the circumstances.
8¾” x 11” 134 pages, index, illus., paperbound.

A Cartoon of the
District of Columbia Flashbacks
Volume One Patrick M.
Reynolds brings history
to life with a sense of humor. His exciting drawings put you
on the scene with the conflicts, madness, plus the wheeling and
dealing that resulted in the location and construction of the
U.S. capital city. This book covers the early history of DC from
1776 to 1863. You'll be surprised at how many cities served as
the U.S. capital; you'll be amazed that the city was built--despite
all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
11¾" x 7½" 106 pages, full color illustrations,
index, paperbound ISBN 0-932514-31-6
