Short histories of radical quilting

"The stories of resilience and resistance told here are mostly drawn from the vibrant 19th and 20th century history of quilting in North America when the tradition of communally making a patchwork quilt was firmly embedded in the artistic practice ... Inspired by Walker's landmark essay, this collection of radical quilting histories seeks to celebrate the ways quilts and quilters -- often excluded from histories of art or our lists of named artists -- reflect the hope and power of community"-- Introduction.

"Please be aware, some of these stories discuss abuse and violence."-- From Introduction, page 5.
