Book covered in plastic, with sticker across the spine near its base.

A celebration of the remarkable craftsmanship and design skills of needlework artists from the many countries that have enjoyed a long quilting tradition or that have recently developed one.

All of the quiltmakers represented in this book, who are in turn symbolic of innumerable quilt artists the world over, have responded in individual, idiosyncratic ways to the need to create. Their work is a direct link to the stitchers of old, to the traditions of their people, and to the sense of beauty accepted in their culture.
