From temperance quilts to the quilts by the women of Gee's Bend,
there's a rich history of individuals and communities using fabric
and thread to connect with others and express themselves, both
personally and politically. Why We Quilt blends bits of this
history with the stories and work of today's leading quilters to
highlight universal themes that resonate through this vibrant
craft. Prize-winning quilter and teacher Thomas Knauer illuminates
the compelling nature of this time-intensive, hands-on pursuit in
today's world, with dozens of profiles and stunning photographs.
Through his lively prose and thoughtful reflections, accompanied by
insightful statements from the quilters themselves, he shares the
many reasons why we quilt: to connect with tradition, explore and
express our creativity, to make meaning in our lives, to express
love and forge connection - and to change the world. Aspiring and
skilled quilters, as well as general admirers of this age-old
craft, will be intrigued and inspired by the stories and work of
today's leading quiltmakers.
