The aid offered by the Works Progress Administration during the dark days of the Great Depression and the halcyon days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal found its way into the heart of Pennsylvania, to its artisans and craftspeople. This extremely limited edition compilation of quilt patterns created for the WPA in the 1930s features rare pattern cards in full color and an accompaniment book of meticulous instructions for each design. The WPA Quilt folio preserves the beauty and spirit of traditional folk artwork amidst the backdrop of American hardship.
