About the book >.>.> Gradually over the past few months the desk and writing table have grown dusty and lifeless while the other side of the room has been transformed into a quilt studio. Here my stacks of fabric comfort me. Sorted and piled according to color they await my touch to animate them turn them into the controlled chaos of what I call my ‘serendipity quilts. Here the only language is color and pattern….I am in the sixth month of my quilting depression. … I don’t answer the phone or the door bell. My job is all-day intensive color and pattern therapy. I am piecing for cover. I am quilting to save my life.” In the middle of a successful academic career art historian Janet Catherine Berlo finds herself literally at a loss for words. A severe case of writer’s block forces her to abandon a book manuscript midstream; she finds herself quilting instead. Scorning the logic planning and order of scholarship and writing she immerses herself in free- wheeling patterns and vivid colors. For eighteen months she spends all day every day quilting. (LL)
