North Country Strippy Quilts booklet by Helen Barnes

Written for the Amy Emm's bursary, the North Country Strippy Quilts booklet by Helen Barnes addresses the following questions:

• What are they
• Where are they from
• Who made them
• When were they made
• How did the strippy quilts change and develop
• How were they constructed
• The fabrics, wadding and threads used
• Which colours were popular
• What the design layout of a strippy quilt is
• What linear designs were used on quilts
• How the designs transferred to fabrics
• How the quilting was done, and
• Where did the designs come from

Additionally, Helen includes samplers of the North Country strippy quilt designs, using coloured thread to bring out the patterns.
