Many hands make a quilt : short histories of radical quilting  Cover Image Book Book

Many hands make a quilt : short histories of radical quilting / by Jess Bailey ; designed and illustrated by Saffa Khan.

Summary:

"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"-- Introduction.
