More About This Book

Overview


Gather 'round! The endearing follow-up to The Apron Book is now served. EllynAnne Geisel graces us with her new treasure, The Kitchen Linens Book. It's a lovely treat.

Family kitchens are where our days begin and end. And one constant is threaded among the people, the stories, and the moments: America's kitchen linens. If only these prized pieces could talk.

The Kitchen Linens Book invites women of all ages to visit with the past. In this book, Geisel gives us an up-close look at tablecloths, dishtowels, and napkins with details and histories as fine as the stories themselves. Embroidered or hemstitched, linens or oilcloths--these are the fabrics and the memories of our mothers and grandmothers. And each one has an endearing story and a vivid history.

*The book features over 20 projects and 8 recipes.

* The book includes a classic Butterick transfer pattern for a vintage kitchen towel motif, circa 1945.

* Rich photography highlighting every detail accompanies stories passed from generation to generation.

* EllynAnne's passion for finding and saving linens from flea markets, estate sales, and antique stores will inspire you to dig through your own closets and cupboards.

    Kitchen linens Book

    This book is wonderful for research and just learning about linens in the depression and how they were used and why. The vintage iron-on in the back is just wonderful and the story of how EllynAnne Geisel found it is just priceless. Anyone who is interested in Table clothes and aprons in todays world should own this book.

    Nostalgia at it's best!

    For those of us that love all things vintage about kitchen linens and a simpler way of life... Wonderfully illustrated, precious stories from the past, family recipes shared, and even a towel pattern is included - it doesn't get any better than that. Enjoy!

    Takes me back to my childhood with Grandma!

    I adored this book. It took me back in time to when I was a little girl and help Grandma dry the dishes after Sunday dinners at her house. Oh, the talks we used to have to pass the time away. Grandma used her linen towels for everyting from keeping the lettuce crisp to covering up the bread dough while it was rising. A tablecover and clothes pin made the most beautiful cape when you got your hair cut. I wish I still had some of her linens but they got lost many years ago. I now scour flea markets and vintage stores for linens belonging to someone elses Grandma. Oh the stories they could tell.

    Great Linens Book!

    I really enjoyed reading the stories behind the purchasing of the various linens which the author owns. There are also snippets of stories and histories written by other people which help the entertainment factor! I was very inspired and decided to use my own "collected" tablecloths more often!
    The patterns included with the book for the iron on transfers really make this a wonderful gift!!! In fact I bought it as a gift originally and then decided to keep it in my personal library. I guess I'll have to buy another one!
