My Quilts and Me: The Diary of an American Quilter

My Quilts & Me is by one of the nation's most important quilters. It paints a remarkable portrait of the artist through her own words, composed during the creation of her much sought-after pictorial quilts. This lavishly illustrated book is an intensely personal account of a quilt artist's thoughts as she works on her quilts, putting together challenging patchwork patterns. With the artist as diarist, My Quilts & Me defines a new genre, not only for quilting and folklife books, but for black history books as well.
