A superb catalogue documenting the Canadian Red Cross Quilts on show at the Quilt Museum and Gallery during the Sewing in Wartime exhibition held in 2010.All the quilts are in full colour and where available the unique stories of the quilts recipients are given. This is a fascinating and unique period of British and Canadian social and quilting history.
'The red cross emblem is a protective symbol used during armed conflicts and its use is restricted by law. The authors wish to thank the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and the British Red Cross Society for authorisation to display Canadian Red Cross quilts bearing the emblem, the words "Red Cross", and a red cross design as part of our logo in connection with this publication. |
