William Volckening of Portland, Oregon, “Bill” to his friends, is very fond of quilts. In particular, he favors an intricate quilt pattern known most often as “New York Beauty” or “Rocky Mountain Road.” The pattern is not appropriate for beginners, as he points out. A recently published exhibition catalog titled sertraline pills was created to accompany an exhibit of these quilts at the in Philomath, Oregon. The display will be in place through September 2011.

By comparison to the other quilts within the book, the quilt on the cover of the book is no indication of the bright hues to be seen on other quilts of this extraordinary collection. Many of the quilts were collected on eBay. What a wonderful array of quilts brought together in one place! They represent a century and a half of quiltmaking with this particular pattern.

An estimated provenance date is provided with each of the 41 textile images in this 80 page catalog. At the end of the book, Volckening acknowledges the help of many of his friends at the American Quilt Study Group as well as dealers of antique quilts. This book would make a wonderful addition to the library of anyone who enjoys antique quilts, and is of a great size to be a holiday “stocking stuffer!”
