SUMMARY- The Table of Contents may be simple, the book is not. There is a color photo gallery in the center of the book - the rest of the photos are all in black-and-white. She covers a ton of ground in this book, and not of it had been covered like this before. There are excellent reasons why this is book is listed in several prominent directories as one of the early influences in the art quilt field. We take a lot of what she was demonstrating then for granted now, but back then it was eye-opening. No one had seen anything quite like it.
