(From the introduction) Collectively, these quilts and their stories
tell the story of the women of Texas-hardships endured and overcome,
friendships made, churches, schools, and communities established, of
births, marriages, deaths-all the myriad experiences of mothers,
daughters, sisters who created from whatever resources available, a bit
of beauty in their quilts...These "treasures" are a reflections of their
creative and indomitable spirit!
