In the middle of a successful academic career, art historian Janet
Catherine Berlo found herself literally at a loss for words. A
severe case of writer’s block forced her to abandon a book
manuscript midstream; she found herself quilting instead. Scorning
the logic, planning, and order of scholarship and writing, she
immersed herself in freewheeling patterns and vivid colors. For
eighteen months she spent all day, every day, quilting. This book
penetrates to the very heart of women’s lives, focusing on their
relationships to family and friends, to work, to daily tasks. It is
a search for meaning at midlife, a search for an integration of
career and creativity.
