The Patchwork Papers

"The Patchwork Papers" by Temple Thurston may have, at the time of its publishing, been considered a simple quilting and sewing manual. However, over the years it has earned its place in the heart of crafty readers across the globe. Written in a simple to understand way that still gives insight into the early 20th century society when it was written, this book is equal parts endearing and informative. Indeed, Thurston has managed to make learning needlework not only a fun process, but a culturally enriching one as well.
