Summary
"This book explores the creative vision of a master quiltmaker and the intersecting artistic worlds in which she participates. Representing an unbroken tradition of artmaking transmitted from woman to woman and extending back to the nineteenth century, the Gee's Bend quilts also offered a case study in how a significant art form thrived for generations apart from the presumed cultural centers of American civilization."--BOOK JACKET.
