I was asked about books at the lecture this last Friday and so here is a list. Some of the books are out of print but you can seek them out on the net.
The book that started it all for me was THE PASSIONATE QUILTER by Michele Walker, it's a very good one. (out of print)
TRADITIONAL BRITISH QUILTS by Dorothy Osler (out of Print)
THE QUILTS OF THE BRITISH ISLES by Janet Rae (out of print)
QUILT TREASURES, The Quilters Guild Heritage Search pub. by the Quilters Guild of the British Isles (out of print)
QUILTS 1700-2010 Hidden Histories, Untold Stories, pub by V&A, edited by Sue Pritchard, may still be available from amazon
THE COMPLETE BOOK OF QUILTMAKING by Michele Walker (out of print)
MAKING WELSH QUILTS by Mary Jenkins and Clare Claridge, this book has been available from Edward R Hamilton Booksellers at about $7 or $8 dollars, edwardrhamiltonbooksellers.com
THE QUILTERS GUILD COLLECTION Contemporary Quilts, Heritage Inspiration, this one features a cross section of traditional and contemporay British quilts, it has also been available from Edward R Hamilton Booksellers
THE ESSENTIAL QUILTER and THE ESSENTIAL QUILTER PROJECT BOOK (out of print) both by Barbara Chainey
My own book, THE WELSH QUILTING PATTERN AND DESIGN HANDBOOK is available from the Jen Jones Welsh Quilt Centre
Another book that isn't Welsh or English but will be of interest is QUILTS OF PROVENCE The Art and Craft of French Quiltmaking by Kathryn Berenson, it has also been at Edward R Hamilton Booksellers
Good Luck with your book search!
