An email today from Topping & Company alerted me to a book which many of us may find interesting, Warm Covers - A Scottish Textile Story by Janet Rae:
"This beautiful, thoughtful exploration of Scotland’s rich engagement with textiles weaves together the personal stories of quilt-makers with the industrial, social and artistic history found in quilts.
Rae has written extensively about textiles and Scottish crafts and for eight years operated a small arts and crafts gallery in the Scottish Borders. In Warm Covers she has drawn extensively on visits to the Fife Folk Museum in Ceres and many photographs of their gorgeous quilts are reproduced in the book. Warm Covers is a treat for quilters and the curious alike!"
Details of Janet Rae's forthcoming event at Topping's can be found here.
