They began their existence as everyday objects, but in the hands of award-winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, fourteen domestic items from preindustrial America–ranging from a linen tablecloth to an unfinished sock–relinquish their stories and offer profound insights into our history. In an age when even meals are rarely made from scratch, homespun easily acquires the glow of nostalgia. The objects Ulrich investigates unravel those simplified illusions, revealing important clues to the culture and people who made them. Ulrich uses an Indian basket to explore the uneasy coexistence of native and colonial Americans. A piece of silk embroidery reveals racial and class distinctions, and two old spinning wheels illuminate the connections between colonial cloth-making and war. Pulling these divergent threads together, Ulrich demonstrates how early Americans made, used, sold, and saved textiles in order to assert their identities, shape relationships, and create history.

This tasteful and artsy book includes stitching of classic sayings such as “Home Sweet Home” and “Good friends are like diamonds, precious and rare.” Each is accompanied by beautiful illustrations that mimic the classic knit style and exemplify some facet of the phrases. For example, in “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away,” the word “apple” is replaced by an apple design and the whole phrase is surrounded by lush ornamentation.
