Quilt making has long been associated with the rural culture of  Prince Edward Island Canada.

Sherrie Davidson, author of Quilts of Prince Edward Island, is dedicated to preserving the history of quilt making on Prince Edward Island and the results of Davidson's work is a lushly illustrated, scrapbook-style volume, complete with excerpts from diaries and news stories, and discussion of the patterns and techniques that have been passed down through families. Full-colour photographs throughout, and chapters on early settlement, the Acadian/Cajun quilting community, and extended visits to some of the Island's best-known contemporary quilt makers, make this an engaging look at rural life and craft alike.
