About this book

"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.
