The gnarled branches of a beautiful old plum tree reach toward the
sky. A mushroom hunter searches for morels among rolling hills. A
small boat is tossed among the tumultuous waves of an angry sea.
Striding Lines, an homage to Wisconsin artist and quilter Rumi
O'Brien, presents these striking images of her work and many more,
accompanied by descriptions that share the stories of each piece in
the artist's own words. Each quilt represents a moment, often
autobiographical, crafted with whimsy, revealing an inspired
talent. Bobbie Malone reaches beyond the quilts to tell O'Brien's
own story, from her initial foray into the quilting world to her
developed dedication to the craft. Contributions from leaders in
the art, textile and quilting community, including Melanie Herzog
and Marin Hanson, contextualize O'Brien's work in the greater
community of quiltmakers and artists. This book celebrates the life
and ingenuity of a Japanese-born American immigrant whose oeuvre is
equally Japanese and Wisconsinite-and entirely distinctive.
