Contemporary quilt artists walk us through their creative development during the pandemic!

Learn how our creative development is shaped by experiences that isolate us from other people. The insightful words of 97 contemporary quilt artists combine with evocative photos of their quarantine creations during the COVID-19 pandemic's first months. Giving us a fascinating perspective, these visual and personal stories of concerns, despair, and ideas can help connect our own experiences with pandemic to the larger world of creativity. Topics include Coronavirus Circling the Globe; Home Is Where the Art Is; Be Smart, Be Vigilant; Pandemic Patterns; Pandemic Landscapes; and Politics and Protest. Learn from makers' notes, their reactions to and experiences with COVID-19, and the visual results of creators' new ways of thinking. Front cover image: quilt by Anne Bellas. Half of the author’s royalties will be donated to Doctors Without Borders
