Why We Quilt: Contemporary Makers Speak Out about the Power of Art, Activism, Community, and Creativity

In this tribute to todayâ€™s vibrant quilting community, prize-winning quilter and teacher Thomas Knauer showcases a stunning collection of quilts from a wide range of contemporary makers, accompanied by their testimonials about what inspires and imbues their craft with meaning.

Why We Quilt blends bits of this history with the stories and work of todayâ€™s leading quilters, highlighting themes of tradition, community, consumerism, change, and creativity. With a unique die-cut cover and a richly layered design, this book will enthrall designers, quilters, and all types of handcraft enthusiasts.
