I found a book. A wonderful book. I would very much like to have this book.
Be still my heart.
You can find The Fabric of Society by Annette Gero here. Don’t let your head pop off when you see the price! Even with the exchange it’s $109, that doesn’t include shipping from Australia. Hard cover, 240 pages full colour – 130 full page quilts with 300 other photos PLUS 29 patterns to recreate these gorgeous antique quilts. Large book, measures 27 x 33 x 4 cm.
I found all this on a Mijn Quilthoekje. Another blog for you to enjoy.
P. S. I’m posting this early because Friday I’m off to visit my brother and family in Rhode Island and there is no way I can trust that I’m going to be coherent enough at 3am to remember to post it!

You have it??? Are all the photos that wonderful?
what a wonderful book! thanks for sharing the find. travel safely and have a wonderful visit.
Great book…. doesn’t that quilt look very similiar in color and patterns to “Your Favorite Quilt of All Time”? Safe travels.
Looks like an amazing book! I did a WorldCat search and other than Australia and New Zealand, I only found it in one place in the U.S. It is in Massachusetts, at Harvard University.
Thanks so much for sharing the book with us. Have a wonderful time with your brother and his family in Rhode Island.
Incredible treasure! I want it, too. Hope it is on your birthday, Christmas, Easter, Spring list!!!!
The last photo of the ladies around the edge of the quilt looks similar to a quilt I saw by Judy Dale entered in the 2007 AQS Quilt show in Paducah. She calls it “Dancing at Netherfield”.
Issue # 60 of Quiltmania magazine has a photograph of it. Have a good time in Rhode Island.
I have this book and it is worth every cent!
