    "Quilts: Their Story and How to Make Them" by Marie D. Webster

    http://www.gutenberg.org/files/24682...-h/24682-h.htm

    This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at http://www.gutenberg.org

    I just happened upon this while browsing the web for something else, and I just had to share it with all of you. This book has lots of great illustrations.

    Enjoy,
    Nancy

    Thanks Nancy! I occasionally search for this book on eBay and while it has come up a couple of times I could never afford it. Amazing amount of information and since it was published in 1915 when she says a quilt was made 75 years ago she is talking about 1840. Can't wait to have time to read it.

              Am I right in thinking that these ebooks will be able to be loaded onto a sony ereader? only I have one and havent been able to find any quilt books to load.
