AND STILL WE RISE: Race, Culture, and Visual Conversations

• Explores 400 years of African American history with artists’ statements explaining their concepts
• Quilts were commissioned by the author for an exhibit touring museums in the U.S. through 2018
Contemporary quilt artists trace the path of black history in the United States with 97 original works
exploring important events, places, people, and ideas over 400 years. Arranged in chronological order, quilt
themes include the first enslaved people brought over by Dutch traders in 1619, the brave souls marching
for civil rights, the ascendant influence of African American culture on the American cultural landscape,
and the election of the first African American president. Other quilts commemorate and celebrate cultural
milestones and memories, such as the first black teacher, the Buffalo Soldier, the first black man to play
Othello on Broadway, Muhammed Ali, and Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The 69 artists
who contributed works for this curated collection provide narrative explaining the important stories and
histories behind the quilts.
Carolyn L. Mazloomi is among the most influential historians of African American quilts in the United
States. Mazloomi is the recipient of the 2014 Bess Lomax Hawes NEA National Heritage Fellowship Award,

RECYCLED HEXIE QUILTS: Using Vintage Hexagons in Today’s Quilts
Mary W. Kerr
• Presents fresh and exciting ways to repurpose, reuse, and recycle hexagon fragments from yesteryear
• Shows a wide variety of traditional and contemporary designs using the hexie
• More than 140 color images
More than 140 color images, with both traditional and contemporary designs, show how vintage hexagon
textile fragments can be repurposed and fashioned into new, beautiful quilts. Over the last century, hundreds
of hexagon (fondly termed “hexie”) patterns were published and thousands of quilts were started—yet many
of these textiles were never finished. Other quilts were damaged from overuse and neglect. This book shows 52
new quilts inspired by these neglected hexagon textiles. See how this basic shape can be employed in a wide
variety of combinations and patterns, both traditional and modern. Packed with ideas and tips, this practical
yet art-filled guide will inspire quilters to try new designs by drawing on the power of hexies from the past.
Mary W. Kerr is an American Quilt Society certified appraiser and an award-winning quilter. She is a quilt
historian whose lectures and workshops focus on quilt history and the preservation of antique textiles.

CREATING HAWAIIAN-INSPIRED QUILTS
Judith Sandstrom
• 15 quilting projects using traditional-style Hawaiian quilt blocks
• Create quilts combining the artistry of Hawaiian-style appliqué with unique block combinations
• Make your own designs using the patterns and directions as your guide
Early 19th-century Hawaiian women created quilts using bright, solid-colored fabric. They would fold a large
piece of fabric into quarters or eighths and cut flowing motifs symbolic of their lush environment. The practice
of using a single piece of solid-color fabric hand-appliquéd onto a white background became their tradition—a
tradition that both inspired and stimulated the author when creating her own designs. With 26 patterns to get
you started and easy-to-follow directions, learn to cut and stitch both hand- and machine-appliquéd blocks.
Projects include “Hawaiian Seas” wall quilts, “Hawaiian Christmas” with four blocks, and various flowers
and sea creatures. The designs begin with single color, appliquéd blocks and progress to blocks adorned with
additional colors and motifs. Quilters of all skill levels will discover a beautiful Hawaiian quilt to inspire them.
Judith Sandstrom has been designing quilts and fabric textiles for the past 20 years. She has had over
100 original designs published in various books and magazines, and holds a Bachelor of Arts from Grove
City College in western Pennsylvania.

audiences in the West, while modern-day Western quilters admire the distinct aesthetics of their Japanese
counterparts. Meet more than a dozen award-winning quilters, including Yoko Saito, Keiko Goke, Noriko
Endo, and Yoshiko Jinzenji. Each has a well-defined, individual style, yet they share the impeccable technical

graphic designers, and manga artists, who have all made a career in quilting. Over 200 photographs show the

of Liberal Studies degree from Rice University and was honored by the Bybee Foundation and the Texas
Quilt Museum for her research on Japanese quilts.

Year, folk tales, and neighboring people. The quality and diversity of content of the story cloths build upon
