Living Life One Stitch at a Time

Take a journey back in time with author Ellen Kort as she retells the fascinating stories inspired by quilts passed down through generations of Wisconsin quiltmakers. Whether used to comfort the sick, bundle babies, cover windows or celebrate a wedding, each of the 150 quilts presented in this second edition of Wisconsin Quilts has a story to tell that will paint a vivid picture of the evolution of quilting in Wisconsin, from its statehood in 1848 to the present day, preserving the memories made along the way.

New to this second edition are eight exclusive patterns and instructions for blocks from eight historical quilts, allowing you to create your own family heirloom to be cherished for generations to come.

Published in partnership with the Wisconsin Quilt History Project, Wisconsin Quilts is a unique tribute to the contributions Wisconsin's quilters have made to the state's rich history.
