About the book >.>.> Quilting was one of the few forms of cre- ative expression open to past generations of women. Within the acceptable confines of making something “useful” these women stitched rather than penned their stories. Other artistic avenues have opened but the writers gathered in this unique collection still claim kinship with their quilting sisters by the use of quilts in their writing. Featuring works of Bobbie Ann Mason Joyce Carol Oates Alice Walker Adrienne Rich Alice MacGowan and many others Quilt Stories is a colorful literary album quilt composed of the unique blocks created and signed by the writers. More than twenty-five stories poems and plays featuring the mak- ing of quilts-written from 1845 to the pres- ent mainly by American women-document an important pattern in women’s literary history.
