Helen Thompson grew up in a household of never-ending needlework projects. As a result of her interest in quilts, Helen became interested in antique sewing tools. She was a member of the board of directors of the Museum of the American Quilter's Society and a dealer of antique sewing tools. Helen passed away in 2007.
Much more than just a routine task, sewing is an art form, a hobby, a business, a social activity, and a passion for many people. This collector's guide is a valuable tool for all sewing enthusiasts and collectors. There are a helpful glossary, bibliography, and index provided. -John Alvey
