"A moving oral history of the female pioneer settlers of Texas and New Mexico, this book brings to life the rural homesteads of turn-of-the-century America. The quilts these women make are a lovely compendium of family and community history. As their creators speak to us, we come to appreciate the vital place of women's art in the life of our country."--BOOK JACKET. "This book was the basis of the Broadway play The Quilters."--BOOK JACKET.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
When I was about four years old the neighbor's baby died, and all the women was called in to help. Mama knew what her part was because right away she took some blue silk out of her hope chest. I remember that silk so well because it was special and I got to carry it. When we got to the neighbor's some of the women was cooking and the men was making the casket. Mama and three other women set up the frame and quilted all day. First they quilted the lining for the casket, and then they made a tiny little quilt out of the blue silk to cover the baby.
