Today's artists, designers, and craftspeople turn to the charming and distinctive motifs of early American folk art time and time again for design inspiration. This rich collection includes more than 170 authentic designs adapted from objects in museums and private collections - from quilts, embroidery, and applique work to watercolour paintings, tinware, and gravestones. Captions provide information on the original objects from which the designs were drawn, the medium used, region of origin, and approximate date.
