Quilting and Textile Resources
These books and websites are only a small part of a much larger body of research and work that has been done on American quilting. If you are interested in the cleaning of or preservation of heirloom quilts, Orlofsky and Orlofsky’s Quilts in America features a very comprehensive section on the subject.
