| BlockBase (a block library software by Electric Quilt) includes the 4,000 blocks found in Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman |
Newly revised by Barbara Brackman, this book places at your fingertips illustrations, names, and original published sources for over 4,000 pieced patterns. Its comprehensive listing of pieced quilt designs published from the 1830's through the 1970's makes this Encyclopedia a wonderful resource for pattern identification and also a source of inspiring possibilities for those who make quilts themselves.
Barbara Brackman specializes in writing about American quilts. This Encyclopedia, her first book, was originally self-published volume by volume as it was developed. Since then she has written numerous books including Clues in the Calico: A Guide to Identifying and Dating Antique Quilts, and has edited Kansas Quilts and Quilters for the Kansas Quilt Project.
Barbara has been a board member of the American Quilt Study Group (AQSG) and the Kansas Quilt Project, and has served as consultant to numerous state quilt projects, assisting with pattern identification and quilt dating. As a freelance museum curator, she has organized exhibits of art from quilts and cowboy boots to art environments. When she finds time to make quilts, they often reflect her sense of humor. With Laurie Metzinger she organized the infamous The Sun Sets on Sunbonnet Sue project.
