Stitched Stories of Texas Quilters
Quilts can keep you warm, be works of art, tell a story about an event in the makers life or commemorate a historical event. These quilts made by Texas women are examples of their desire to commemorate and remember the stories of their lives and the lives of others. Some of the quilts have been passed down through family-others are contemporary. Each has a unique story to tell and highlights the culture and craftsmanship of a particular time in history.
