Barbara Brackman's set of 3 soft back books:

Clues in the Calico A Guide to Identifying and Dating Antique Quilts (good condition, slight scuff on binding) unveils a much-needed system for dating America's heirloom quilts.  She tells how, by collecting and observing quilts and finally analyzing her computer file on close to 900 date-inscribed specimens, she arrived at the system.  And through this telling she also imparts a colorful, stunningly-illustrated history of quiltmaking along with a good bit of entertaining social history and the newest finding in textile research. 

Civil War Sampler (good condition) Lean more about Civil War women through this special compilation of quilt block patterns, combined with period photos and fir-person accounts.  Choose from a variety of pieced or appliqued blocks, each shown in two colorways with instructions for assembling two sizes (8" and 12")

Quilts from the Civil War (excellent condition). Quilts and their makers are an integral part of the story about this incredible period of American History.  Barbara Brackman offers a rarely discussed perspective from half of those who lived through it - the women of the North and the South.  Included are complete instructions for nine projects, which are adapted from historical quilts and convey an authentic feel.  Definitely modern quilt making techniques will inspire both faithful reproductions and contemporary adaptations of Civil War era quilts.  The book includes tips for using today's reproduction fabrics and suggestions for achieving a period look.
