This title is winner of Violet Crown Award, Writers League of
Texas, 2008. For more than a decade, Marcia Kaylakie traveled Texas
from the Panhandle to Big Bend country, from the Piney Woods to the
Gulf, discovering thousands of quilts in towns from Alpine to
Austin, Dimmitt to Dallas, and myriad other Texas communities large
and small. Hidden away in closets, trunks, and attics, the quilts
Kaylakie found are not only heirlooms but also, owing to their
histories, irreplaceable emblems of Texas heritage. This book
showcases thirty-four quilts. Through them and their stories, the
cultural development of the state unfolds. Most will never be
exhibited or appear in any other permanent record. All Texas-made,
they span the state geographically and range from the 1870s to the
turn of the twenty-first century. As examples of what Texas
quilting was and is as craft - and as cultural narrative - these
quilts preserve a unique and compelling aspect of Texas history.
