Books, Manuscripts
Quilts evoke the past - they stimulate our earliest memories of security and comfort and resonate with historical and cultural references that challenge our assumptions that stitching is simply 'women's work'. This book explores the personal and social histories which reveal the maker's complex engagement with the wider world.
