Many Hands Make a Quilt: Short Histories of Radical Quilting by Jess Bailey (Second Edition)
A vital and tender record of the quilts that have shaped history — and the hands that stitched them.
Throughout history, marginalised communities have turned to the collective intimacies of quilting in moments of need. From the works of Faith Ringgold to social initiatives such as the Navajo Quilting Project, Many Hands Make a Quilt sews together stories of resistance, craft and community in intricate detail, preserving and honouring Black, Indigenous and working-class artistic traditions in naming quilters as artists and activists in their own right.
