The quilters: Women and domestic art

The quilters: Women and domestic art by Norma Bradley Allen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780385116855.

The inside flap of the dust jacket has such a nice description. It reads: "Here, in plain-spoken words, are the stories of the quilters of Texas and New Mexico. their average age is seventy-three; their families were pioneer settlers of the land; they are women who have spent their lives piecing together bits of comfort and color amid the harsh surrounding of the American Southwest. Patricia Cooper and Norma Bradley Buferd decided to let the quilters speak for themselves. Their reminiscences and reflections, their spirit and strength are captured here, along with dazzling full-color photographs of their quilts juxtaposed with black-and-white photographs of the stark landscape in which the quilts were produced." This book is a special read.
